Feed Jake by Pirates of the Mississippi | Dog Song Saturday

Kick off your weekend with Dog Song Saturday here at Talking Dogs.  Today we have a mellow country ballad.  

Feed Jake was released in 1991 by Pirates of the Mississippi.  Written by Danny "Bear" Mayo, the song's chorus tells the story of a childhood dog named Jake.

Named to the Rolling Stone magazine's 40 Saddest Country Songs of All Time list, they note this song evokes:

"... the image of a man kneeling down to deliver the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" bedtime prayer - pleading someone care for his best friend, a dog named Jake, if his owner should die before he wakes."

Feed Jake is accompanied here by a video tribute to Larson the Red Dog.
