Gift Horse (album)

Gift Horse is an album by Roots music band Lost Dogs, released on BEC Records in 1999.

This turned out to be Gene Eugene's last album with the band when he died in The Green Room shortly after its release.

BEC Records retitled one song as "A Vegas Story" for the album's artwork. To this day, fans of the band continue to call it by its real name, "Free Drinks and a Dream." The song also goes by that name during concert introductions and on later live albums and videos.
