The title Songs from My Black Cattle Dog is a creative blunder when someone misheard Tex saying songs from "my back catalogue".[2]
Critical reception
Lyn Harder from The Dwarf said "Have you been thinking of getting a Tex Perkins record but not sure which one to get? Well, this album is for you." adding "This is Tex revealing certain aspects of his life as well as certain philosophical grabs of his life. Tex did choose the songs for this best of compilation and he says they are self analytical and rather honest in lyric content."[2]
Iain Shedden from The Australian said "The best-of collection ... focuses largely on his balladeering solo output. It represents a large and impressive body of work that has earned plenty of plaudits, albeit without troubling the charts."[3]
