The Dogs Run Wild: The Winery Dogs’ ‘Hot Streak’ (IECP-10331)
Today’s entry spotlights the sophomore album from the ultimate power trio of the 21st century: The Winery Dogs. We are looking at the 2015 Japanese pressing of “Hot Streak,” released by WHD Entertainment with the catalog number IECP-10331. This copy comes complete with its original obi strip.
A Supergroup That Actually Delivers Released on September 23, 2015, Hot Streak proved that the chemistry between Richie Kotzen (vocals/guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Mike Portnoy (drums) was no one-off fluke. While their debut established their sound, Hot Streak sees the band loosening up and expanding their musical vocabulary.
Musically, the album is a masterclass in technical proficiency meeting soulful songwriting. It blends hard rock, funk, and progressive elements into a cohesive groove. Tracks like the high-speed opener “Oblivion” showcase the band’s virtuosic chops, while the title track “Hot Streak” and “Captain Love” highlight their ability to lock into a deep, funky pocket. Kotzen’s soulful vocals and emotional guitar work are perfectly supported by Sheehan’s acrobatic bass lines and Portnoy’s surprisingly groovy drumming.
The Definitive Japanese Edition For collectors and audiophiles, this Japanese release is the version to own for several reasons:
Format: It is pressed on HQCD (High Quality CD), a format compatible with standard players but manufactured with superior materials for enhanced audio transparency—perfect for hearing the intricate interplay of this trio.
Bonus Track: It includes the exclusive track “Solid Ground,” bringing the total tracklist to 14 songs.
Documentation: It comes with a comprehensive 12-page black and white booklet featuring Japanese liner notes (praised by fans for their depth and “insider” knowledge), translated lyrics, and a discography.
Hot Streak is a vibrant, diverse rock album that refuses to be pigeonholed. Whether you are a bass player studying Sheehan, a fan of Kotzen’s soulful voice, or just a lover of high-energy rock, IECP-10331 is a must-have addition to your collection.
