TYMON DOGG
THE IRREPRESSIBLE TYMON DOGG

The Tymon Dogg story is really a tale of two Tymons. As “Timon”, he was a psychedelic pop troubadour who cut several beguiling singles in the late 60s, before disappearing forever from the pop scene that had shaped the style and sound of his early recordings. When he re-emerged several years later as “Tymon Dogg” he defiantly mixed folk, pop and world music influences into a distinctive and wholly uncompromising style that he pursues to this day. Initially groomed for pop stardom by the likes of the Beatles and Moody Blues, Tymon went on to record with the Clash in the 80s and was later a key member of Joe Strummer’s Mescaleros. All the while he has also continued to pursue his idiosyncratic solo career. He is still making vital music ¬ perhaps some of his best to date - and playing shows with artists as diverse as Mick Jones¹ Carbon Silicon and ex-Libertine Pete Doherty. Lose This Skin: Tymon Dogg Selected tracks the fascinating journey of Tymon Dogg, from his 1967 Pye single ‘Bitter Thoughts of Little Jane’, to his very latest recordings, including a 2009 remake of his ‘Travelling Man’ which was first issued in 1970 as the b-side to the single he cut for the Moody Blues’ Threshold label. This, the first ever anthology of Tymon Dogg's work, is an essential document of the secret life of UK music…yep, as essential as that!
