In 1994 singer-songwriter/guitar phenomenon Willy Porter, self released his second CD, Dog-Eared Dream. Through consistent touring and an amazing live show Willy built a national following and achieved a modest hit with "Angry Words." at the then nascent Triple A radio format. This led to a deal with Private Music, who re-released Dog Eared Dream in 1995. Willy soon embarked on numerous opening slots for such diverse artists as, the Cranberries, Rickie Lee Jones, Vonda Shepard, and Tori Amos, who handpicked Porter from a mountain of contenders. After finding a new home at Six Degrees Records, Porter has continued to release some of the best adult- rock/ singer songwriter albums of recent years while his following has grown steadily.

Dog Eared Dream remains a favorite of Willy’s fans and many of his signature live songs are drawn from this seminal release. Six Degrees Records is excited to make this previously out of print classic available for both old and new fans of this fascinating artist. The new edition includes a previously unreleased live version of one of Porter’s classic tracks, "Moonbeam".
