Barbeque Dog is an album by Ronald Shannon Jackson and The Decoding Society, recorded in 1983 for the Antilles label.
[2] In 2020, a remastered edition (subtitled "The Live Album VS The Original") was issued on a Bandcamp page, featuring a "Live Jam" plus versions of "Gossip," "Barbecue Dog," and "Trials of Honest John" alternating with the original versions.
The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "Barbecue Dog doesn't quite reach the explosive heights of its predecessor (Mandance), but is arguably the next best item in Jackson's discography.
The band strikes a comfortable balance between the horns and the electric instruments, allowing each to surface when needed, and also complements the required barnburners with more contemplative pieces.
