Lovely Creatures by Bob Schneider
Lovely Creatures is an album by Bob Schneider, released in 2009. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)”, on 7 lists with a best position of #23.
Lovely Creatures, Bob Schneider's eleventh solo album, came out on Kirtland Records on September 29, 2009, with Dwight Baker in the producer's chair. The Austin singer-songwriter, once the frontman of the Ugly Americans, has always been an acoustic guy at heart with a habit of wandering off into electronics and whatever else catches his ear, and here that restlessness gets a buffed, studio-built sheen.
Patty Griffin drops in for a duet, and "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)" got the full Hollywood treatment: a video directed by Robert Rodriguez, starring Kat Dennings. Joey Boukadakis shot another for "The Bringdown". Back home, the Austin Chronicle heard his most promising work yet, and the Victoria Advocate singled out how polished and studio-minded it was. It reached 140 on the Billboard 200, and a vinyl pressing followed in 2012.
