Žlutý pes

Žlutý pes have recorded more than a dozen albums and scored a number of radio hits.

When he returned to Czechoslovakia, he invited a number of musician friends to join him, and Žlutý pes was born.

In the 1980s, after the publication of the Tribuna article "Nová vlna se starým obsahem" (New Wave with Old Content) about up-and-coming Prague bands, Žlutý pes began to be noticed by music critics and listeners alike.

In 1986, Hejma was approached by the record label Artia with the offer of a publishing deal, if he gave them an album sung entirely in English, targeting international audiences.

The label wanted the record to be released under Hejma's name only, however, so the album, titled Rockin' the Blues, which came out in 1987, was attributed solely to their lead singer, even though the entire band was present, as well as various guest musicians such as David Koller, Vladimír Tesařík, and Emil Viklický.
