It's been a half century since Pavlov's Dog burst onto the burgeoning progressive rock scene

of the early 1970s. Hailing from the city of St. Louis, Missouri, their heady blend of rock, classical

and folk music turned them into cult legends. The band has seen lots of lineup changes and

internal turmoil over the years, leading to extended breaks between album releases. But today,

David Surkamp - lead singer, main songwriter and last remaining original member of Pavlov's

Dog - continues to fly the banner high, accompanied by an accomplished group of musicians

that is a credit to the band's good name. For decades, Pavlov's Dog's "lost album" - "Has

Anyone Here Seen Siegfried?" - recorded in St. Louis in 1977 - was available only in inferior

quality. With the rediscovery of the master tapes several years ago, it became possible to hear

the album as originally intended. Tensions within the band had reached the boiling point as they

entered the studio and would lead to a breakup soon thereafter. Nevertheless, tracks like the

piano ballad "Only You" and the somber "Suicide" are brilliant additions to the band's canon.
