'90s Memories - Dog's Eye View

Many years ago, I saw Peter Stuart (singer for Dog's Eye View) speak at one of Greg Behrendt's "Bring the Rock" shows in Hollywood. He told us a story that he was basically just a singer/songwriter and then he got a record deal. The record label told him no one was interested in solo musicians, so they insisted he come up with a "band name." He recorded the album with musicians but Dog's Eye View was never really a band. I believe he also said the back cover for his debut album (which I can't find an image of) featured two people with their back turned because they weren't really in the faux band, but they wanted to give the impression of it being a standard 4-piece alternative band.

These were the days well before the John Mayers, the David Grays and the Jason Mrazs of the world. At any rate, please enjoy the hit single from Dog's Eye View Peter Stuart - "Everything Falls Apart" --
