About this album

Barnet Dogs is a strong early-1980s hard rock album from Russ Ballard, showcasing the hook-heavy songwriting and polished craftsmanship that made him one of rock’s most reliable tunesmiths. Released in 1980, it finds Ballard balancing muscular guitars with melodic choruses and a tighter, more streamlined studio sound than many of his harder-edged contemporaries. Best known as a songwriter and performer with a knack for memorable riffs and radio-ready structure, Ballard brings that same instinct here, especially on cuts such as On The Rebound and Riding With The Angels, songs that underline the album’s direct, melodic appeal and lasting cult status among hard rock fans.
