We were there: Dr. Dog at Lola's

At this point in American rock history, pundits love to search for "the next" band to replace ones that are still relevant. Call it tastemaking for the MTV era, where attention spans last as long as an album cycle if you're fortunate.

Wilco is such target, but one that makes some sense since Jeff Tweedy and his cohorts have been around for well more than a decade. My Morning Jacket is another, but what lasting legacy is there after just five or so years on the sonic radar screen?

Well, MMJ's Jim James did give Philadelphia's Dr. Dog its initial break in 2004. And if tastemaking's your thing, Dr. Dog is more than ready to represent the palette between MMJ and Wilco, if its tangy and toothsome 75-minute set at a beyond-sold-out Lola's Saloon in Fort Worth was representative.
