Hot Dawg is an album by American musician David Grisman, released in 1978.
Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote: "One of Grisman's tunes is 'Dawgology', the title (more than the rather boppish theme) alluding to Reinhardt's 'Djangology'. And Grisman's backup, appropriately an acoustic stringband, recalls the general virtuosity and amiable swing of its Parisian counterpart."
