Walkin' my cat named dog

"The inventive musical flourishes on Walkin' My Cat Named Dog are not unlike the way in which Tanega actually named her cat Dog. Each knotty rhythm and each unexpected melody amounts to a small subversion of the conventions of pop and folk in the mid-1960s, as though she is constantly working to define herself against the industry, to carve out a place for herself without losing herself in the process.Fifty years later, these rebellious gestures have lost little of their power, accumulating into a complex and compelling personality that emerges on this unique album".

"In 1966, Norma Tanega had a worldwide hit with the title track of her debut album, Walkin' My Cat Named Dog. A bouncy number that blended the au courant sounds of folk-pop and New York soul-pop (a nod to her involvement with New Voice, the label of Four Seasons producer Bob Crewe), "Walkin''' may have been her lone moment of mainstream success, but the rest of the album makes a strong case for why Tanega remained a cult favorite years later".
