The Downunderdogs are delighted to announce the launch of their first CD.
Live at the Bottom of the Planet features eight originals and five covers of time-honoured Americana classics, with first-class flatpicking, superb songwriting and wonderful harmonies.
Like their music, Jack MacKenzie and Peter and Cathy Dyer are American born and bred. They've been to a range of music festivals and venues in the USA and seen many of their heroes performing live. This is something that many of us can only dream of doing.
Jack’s flat picking is inspired by Doc Watson and is featured throughout the CD, including his instrumentals “Waterfall” and “Mac’s Reel/Rangitikei Polka”. He has picked with Doc and a host of other stars at McCabe’s Music—the legendary venue Jack managed and performed at in Los Angeles from 1971 to 1980. Otherwise he keeps busy building his own line of Simian Ridge guitars.
Peter plays rhythm guitar and loves singing and yodelling Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers. The CD includes two of his best known compositions, “Go Ahead and Cry” and “The Immigrants Song.”
After years of listening to Peter and Jack play, Cathy finally added double bass and chimed in for three-part harmonies.
The Downunderdogs have mastered performing with a single condenser microphone and perform using this in the old style of yesteryear. This is something that has to be seen to be believed!
