That's Country - The Topp Twins Sing 'Sad Dog'
Television (Excerpts) – 1984
Are you ready for some country blues from the Topp Twins...– Presenter Ray Colombus introduces the Topp Twins
We were into the real old country and western tunes. This was ‘Sleeping Under The Bluegums On The Lonesome Trail’ kind of stuff.”– Jool Topp on the Topp Twin's deep love of country music, AudioCulture website, 6 April 2018
We always sung, from when we were very little. We used to run home from school, throw our school bags away, grab the guitar and play for about four hours until tea. We practised in front of the mirror with hairbrushes.– Jools Topp on how the Topp Twins developed their act, AudioCulture website, 6 April 2018
Dedicated to all our K9 mates. Rolly, Otis, Kelly, Phantom, Jack, White Feather and Moose.– The liner notes for 'Sad Dog', on 2014 compilation The Very Best of the Topp Twins
