'''''Dog House Music''''' is the second album by [[Seasick Steve]], and his first as a solo artist.<ref name="AMG"/> It was released on 27 November 2006; however, pre-release CDs were available for sale to members of his site's mailing list.

The album is almost entirely performed by Seasick Steve, apart from [[snare drum]] on "Yellow Dog" and [[crash cymbal]] on "Fallen Off a Rock", performed by H.J. Wold (a relation of Steve, whose real name is Steve Wold), and drums on the hidden track by Steve's son P.M. Wold.<ref name="AMG"/>

The album reached number 36 in the [[UK Albums Chart]], number 1 in the independent album charts, and number 7 in the downloads chart, all from sales in the UK.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/albums/seasick-steve-dog-house-music/|title=DOG HOUSE MUSIC - SEASICK STEVE &#124; Official Charts |website=Officialcharts.com|access-date=Nov 13, 2025}}</ref>

==Hidden track== As on his first album, ''Cheap'', there is a [[hidden track]]. Seven seconds after the end of the last listed track, "I'm Gone", Seasick Steve tells a story (despite complaints about his storytelling on ''Cheap''). He talks about a faithful dog named Trixie that he once owned. One time he was arrested, and on his release, his dog was waiting for him 60 miles away from where he left her six months earlier. The dog then had 12 puppies, which she cared for, until one day, when she just went and never came back. This left Seasick Steve with 12 puppies. This story is followed by a song, with Steve on guitar and his son P.M. Wold on drums, entitled, "12 Dog Blues".<ref name="AMG"/>
