About the Album

Gratitude, Mad Dog Blues’ fifth album is an innovative take on contemporary acoustic blues. Recorded “live in the studio” at

Mighty Fine Productions in Denver and mastered by the two-time Grammy-winning David Glasser of Airshow Mastering, Gratitude repre- sents a step up in audio fidelity from

Mad Dog Blues’ last two live albums. Since the 2019 release of their first album, Happy Dance, Mad Dog

Blues has not looked back, exploring the possibilities of their unique, har- monica string band in their prolific song writing. Over the last few years their music has developed and matured, and their signature “Colorado Country Blues” sound has expanded to incorporate even more influences including jazz, world music, trance blues and pop along with our root influences of blues, folk and Americana. "Gratitude" is more than an album name; it can become a way of life that offers us all a ray of hope in these troubled times.
