Original Cosmic American Blues and Roots Music reminiscent of vintage Grateful Dead, Buffalo Springfield, The Band and Bob Dylan
Editorial review
Cabin Dogs are primarily the result of Rich Kwait and his brother Rob Kwait. What they succeed in doing is crafting time-honored Americana tracks along the lines of the Band, Blue Rodeo and Wilco. The first track "Together Again" has that loose, countrified feeling with a lead vocal that resembles Gordon Lightfoot to a certain extent. And each song seems to be fully fleshed out as they jam things out totally. The band have enough chops to nail each of these songs, but they break new ground with the rather soulful "Settle Down" that saunters along nicely with some fine backing harmonies. But they are at their best when they are in no hurry to wrap things up. A perfect example of this is the slow shuffling "Phoenicia" that sounds like it was picked from Neil Young's pocket circa Harvest Moon. The first surprise here has to be the soulful, funky roots pop oozing out of the catchy "Golden Blue" with its Queen-like bassline. They branch further out with the jam band '70s-sounding tune "Froggy" that seems suited for Deadheads and Phish fans alike. Fortunately, this is the only time they dip into that area, as "Inspiration" is a simple, catchy, finger-snapping, roots-oriented number. This pales, though, compared to the album's highlight "Cheyenne," a swaying Americana tune with some violin supporting the tight, terrific melody. The Cabin Dogs conclude with a cover of Neil Young's "One of These Days" that sounds like it's been influenced by Bob Seger's "Shame on the Moon." On the whole, it is an interesting and consistently good release. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide

Philadelphia, PA: Philadelphia-based band-- the CABIN DOGS (formerly the Kwait Brothers Band)-- have teamed up with Woodstock Records (home of the late Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Buckweat Zydeco) to Release ELECTRIC CABIN. With nine tracks of original Cosmic American Blues (plus a cover of Neil Young’s One of These Days), the new album is the latest from the song-writing team of twin brothers Rich and Rob Kwait (who have released two previous albums under the name Kwait Brothers Band (2000’s Hillside and 2002’s Outland Disco). Their earlier work (both as a live band and in the studio) has drawn favorable comparisons to seminal groups such as The Band, Grateful Dead and Buffalo Springfield, and the new album stands to build on this sound and bring the CABIN DOGS national attention.
Recorded and mixed in a yellow farmhouse at the foot of Hurly Mountain (LRS Studios – outside of Woodstock)- this album is the first to be recorded outside of Philadelphia and the first to use an outside co-producer— Aaron “Professor Louie” Hurwitz (who has worked with The Band, Rick Danko, Mercury Rev, Graham Parker, Tony Trischka, Livingston Taylor to name a few). “We decided to do the whole record in upstate NY with Professor Louie,” explains Rich, “partly to work a little outside the norm for a Philly band, and partly to capture some of that funky upstate vibe that we felt in the mountain cabins where we wrote most of the album.”
The result is Electric Cabin -- the premiere release from the Cabin Dogs -- and the further development of a sound described by some as Cosmic American Blues or simply Cabin music.
