Hi Everybody. It sure was awesome to see so many of you in 2007. '07 was a fantastic year for us. As always, we want to thank our many fans, longtime friends and understanding families. Without you, there would be no Hair Of The Dog. We're now in our fifteenth year. Here's hoping for fifteen more.

Hair Of The Dog's long awaited CD "Donegal" is finally complete and available. Over two years in the making, "Donegal" is our first new studio recording in ten years. It's also our most ambitious. "Donegal" features six original songs (four written by Mike and two penned by Kevin McKrell), several traditional songs, and a few tunes by some of our favorite artists, including the late Tommy Makem. It's also our first album featuring the talents of drummer/producer Scott Apicelli. Guests include Joanie Madden from Cherish The Ladies, Professor Louie from The Band and The Crowmatix, Doug Moody and Chris Leske from The McKrells and organ guru Tony Perrino. We hope that you enjoy listening to "Donegal" as much as we enjoyed making it. The first pressing of "Donegal" has something for everyone, including a few typos. The mistakes have since been corrected and those first copies may be collectors items some day!

It looks like 2008 is going to be another fabulous year for Hair Of The Dog. Besides our numerous annual stops at concert halls and festival sites, we'll be appearing at some new venues including The Irish American Home and The Greater Hartford Irish Festival in Glastonbury, CT. And as always, look for us at our home away from home, The Parting Glass in Saratoga Springs, NY. Until we meet again, happy trails.

peace,

Rick and The Boys
