Our Take

RUFUS THOMAS' "Walking The Dog" is a delightful romp through the groovy sounds of the 1960s, now reissued on eye-catching magenta marble vinyl. Thomas' infectious energy and playful lyrics make this album a must-have for any fan of retro soul.

From the infectious title track to the toe-tapping beats of "Can Your Monkey Do The Dog," Thomas' unique vocal delivery and lively instrumentation keep the party going from start to finish. The album's blend of R&B, soul, and gospel influences creates a sound that is both timeless and undeniably fun.

Each track on "Walking The Dog" is a dancefloor filler, guaranteed to get even the most reluctant wallflower grooving along. Thomas' charisma shines through on every song, making it impossible not to smile and shake a leg.

The magenta marble vinyl adds a touch of whimsy to this already vibrant album, making it a standout piece in any collection. Whether you're a die-hard soul aficionado or just looking for some upbeat tunes to brighten your day, RUFUS THOMAS' "Walking The Dog" is a must-listen.

So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie down with one of the most entertaining albums of the 1960s. "Walking The Dog" is a true gem that proves good music never goes out of style.
