"Peace Dog" comes off Electric, the Cult's third album, released in 1987 as the follow-up to their breakthrough, Love, and it catches a band ditching gothic rock's gloom for straight-ahead hard rock. Billy Duffy wrote the music and plays guitar, Ian Astbury wrote the words, sings and bangs a tambourine, and Jamie Stewart on bass and Les Warner on drums keep it rolling.
Rick Rubin produced, and he had been hired precisely to rebuild the Cult's sound for a decade hooked on hard rock, glam metal and heavy metal; George Drakoulias assisted, and Andy Wallace engineered and mixed. The makeover paid off: Electric matched Love's number-four peak in Britain and hung around for 27 weeks, the Cult's longest chart run. In 2013 it returned as Electric Peace, paired with the full Peace album from the Manor Sessions.
