Did a bit of dabbling on Pledge music and bought the new album from Dogs D'Amour...I think it's only Tyla left from the original Dogs but it was worth investigating In Vino Veritas

First thing you notice on opener 111 is this is a much more focussed and muscular version of the Dogs. Guitars to the fore throughout. It's not till the 4th track Bottle of Red and its sax and alcohol references that it feels nostalgic.

Tyla is sounding deeper of voice but still has a way with words and a good tune

There is also a covers album featuring the obvious (Stones and Small Faces) plus a few interesting cuts - The Cars, Best Friends Girl anyone? There is also a joyous romp through Summertime Blues but as with most cover albums it's fun but inconsequential
