Dr Hoss Rides Again is the third excursion by the doctor into the unknown vaults of the Dr Hoss Spittle Travelling Medicine Show. Potions of R&B, country, pop and rap. Ancient cures from heroic youth. Secret spells for modern inflictions. Empty-headed Boogie from 1989 "my cup is empty/ empty baby it's an open shut case" alongside Broken English from 1995 "sitting in the whare out back of the booha/ boiling up some trotters and rolling up the puha". Introspection aka 1971 in Candle "in the apron bind the bow/ life returns on you you know". Lambs Of Albion [1998] about colonial sons shipped alongside southern sheep to feed the empire "it was new year day 73 when we landed at the bluff". Sit back now and soak up your medicine.
