Dog House Music is the second album by Seasick Steve, and his first as a solo artist. It was released on the 27th November, 2006, however pre-release CDs were able to be bought by members of his site's mailing list.

The album is almost entirely performed by Steve, apart from snare drum on Yellow Dog and crash cymbal on Fallen Off a Rock, performed by H.J. Wold (a relation of Steve, who's real name is Steven Wold), and drums on the hidden track by Steve's son P.M. Wold.

[edit] Hidden Track

A hidden track can be found 7 seconds after the end of the 'last' track "I'm Gone". It consists of Steve telling a story, the given reason of this is because he had complaints about his story telling on his album with the Level Devils cheap. The story is about a faithful dog (named Trixie) that he once owned. He was arrested, and the day that he got released, his dog was waiting for him 60 miles away from where he left her 6 months earlier. The dog then had 12 puppies, which she cared for, until one day, she just went and never came back, leaving Steve with 12 puppies. This story is followed by a song, with Steve on guitar and his son P.M. Wold on drums, entitled, appropriately, '12 Dog Blues'.
