Album Notes

“Joy” may very well be the most creative of the Sleeping Dogs Lie CDs. There's songs about telethon hosts, an armhair named "Jerry" Garcia, lost pets, dirty nuns, aliens, corrupt government officials, Ron Jeremy, the witness protection program, satanic boyscouts, bad computer salesmen, fat slobs, my friend Maria, Monty Python, disease, a beer drinkin' fetus, presidents, mall rats and other neglected subjects...

Strange enough though, there is a lot of good songs on the CD. Jake Cline of CITY LINK Magazine said “David Geffen was missing out…” after giving it a four-star rating.

Sleeping Dogs Lie is loose group of musicians headed up by songwriter / musician Eric Guenette with an ever revolving cast of musicians that sit in on various recordings.

Sleeping Dogs Lie came to be in 1995 with a Tascam 4-track in an apartment in West Palm Beach, Florida... Just a Thomas organ, two guitars, bass, drum machine (Dr. Uma Chine in the credits) and a $19.95 Radioshack Realistic microphone with the idea of writing music that was purely a cure for boredom.

Songwriter/musician Eric Guenette wrote and recorded everyday for a year and half straight... As he wrote and recorded more songs, the whole thing was becoming more interesting as he stumbled through the creative song writing process ... Even with a hundred songs under his belt, he wasn't sure if he could even call myself a real songwriter... Over the few years, Guenette has worked with a variety of musicians to come up with an even more diverse and eclectic collection of songs...

The music is essentially rock, but there’s a lot of experimentation and unique chord arrangements combined with offbeat subject matter in the lyrics that makes Sleeping Dogs Lie what it is.
