who sings A Dog Named Blue
The Shadow
You may be talking about "Me and You and a Dog Named Blue", probably
done around 1970/1970. I want to say it was done by Lobo, but I know
that's not right. It was a Lobo/America type group.
I remember the chorus only:
Me and you and a dog named Blue
Travelin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Blue
(I can't even remember this line)

That's "BOO!"
(Oops, scared myself!)
Lobo is correct, although I think Lobo is actually a Canadian guy, not a
band. He had another hit with a real macho Neil Diamond-style song a few
years later.

It's:
"How I love being a free man"
Kennyyyyyy
Maybe you're talking about the old song, Me and You and A Dog Named Boo?
This song was done by Lobo.

Does anybody know if the person who originally asked to identify this
song ever got the message? As has been previously discussed, I believe the
requested song is not Lobo's "Me and You and a dog named Boo", but an old
country (/bluegrass?) standard called "Old Blue", which was covered on the
Byrds' "Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde" album in the late 60s.
Had an old dog and his name was Blue,
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too.

Assuming he/she's reading the ng, probably yes, the person has gotten
the message. We've gotten sidetracked w/the Lobo hit, obviously.
The Byrds' version of "Old Blue" seems to be me to be by far the
most-often cited version here, I've noticed; must be a lot of Byrds
fans on this newsgroup!
