Wild Dogs is a brilliant pop/rock album that never got a fair chance - until now. Dwight Twilley achieved a long-awaited breakthrough when his 1984 single "Girls" hit the Top 20 and parent album Jungle went Top 40.

The stage was set for Twilley's next album Wild Dogs to put him over the top. Hit producer Val Garay (Linda Ronstadt, Kim Carnes, The Motels) was onboard, along with Twilley regulars Susan Cowsill, Phil Seymour and Bill Pitcock IV.

But it all came crashing down when Twilley's label head was implicated in a major payola scandal on the eve of the album's release, sinking Wild Dogs without a trace.

If ever an artist and album deserved better, it's this one. The original Wild Dogs album has been remastered by Vic Anesini for its first-ever CD release.

Nine bonus tracks not only double the disc's length but present Dwight's original demos for the album.

Longtime Twilley art director Zox has uncovered never-before-seen photos from the original shoot, and power pop authority Ken Sharp contributes new liner notes based on 2022 interviews with Twilley & co.

For fans of Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Eric Carmen, Lindsey Buckingham, Rick Springfield, Alex Chilton, Marshall Crenshaw, Matthew Sweet.
