  What song?

If you were going to introduce someone to the lost dogs, what song would you play for them?

  RE: What song?

Real good question.

I find the best way to introduce the Dogs to new people is to take them to a live show. It's really hard to pick one song. I normally just give folks a CD and tell them to listen to the whole thing. Or I force them to listen when I'm driving and before you know it the're singing "There's only one bum in Corona Del Mar!"

I kind of see it as depending on the person you are introducing them to. I will pick a song or CD I think fits that person.

"Pray where you are" is probably a good starting point.

Definitely "Pray Where You Are". For certain people, maybe "Breathe Deep", but I think "Pray" is the best general entry point.

I know that this is way too long to fit on one cd but if I were able I'd hand someone a cd with my three favorite songs from each of the vocal albums. It makes for a nice iPod shuffle and is a great holistic photo of the years:

Ghost Train to Nowhere
Blessing in Disguise
Rebecca Go Home
Imagine That
Dunce Cap
No Room For Us
If You Want To
Sunshine Down
To Cover You
There You Are
Come Down Here
Be My Hinding Place
In The Distance
The Mark of Cain
Lovely Man
Scenic Routes
The New Physics
The Last Testament Of Angus Shane
All That Remains
If It Be Your Will
Reasonable Service
Broken Like Brooklyn
Whispering Memories
Hardening My Heart

Wht song?

For the rocker....Get Me Ready

For the folk-rocker....Pray Where You Are or Wild Ride

For the Gram Parsons freak (mysef included)..Built for Glory
or Whispering Memories (We might have rode out to the desert.....)
or I Can't Say Goodbye

For the blues fan....Cry out loud

For the Folkie...Beautiful Scandalous Night or Moses In The Desert

For the beach bum or fan of old Spaghetti Westerns...Wikki Tikki

You wanted just one song, didn't you.--> That's where Jesus Is.

I've long said that "Sweet Work of Love" is the best, most complete Christian rock song ever, and then I've always followed that by saying how much I don't like that term Christian rock...

After one week of pure pleasure, I am introducing as many people as I can to the wonderfully impressionistic song "Broken Like Brooklyn." Not least because it is centered around the best baseball team in history, and two of the best cities. So, Brooklyn is my answer to which song I'd introduce the 'Dogs with, but if there is such a thing as Christian rock, then Sweet Work fits the bill.
