Yep, I was tricked by the name as well, plus one of the guys on the cover is
wearing a cowboy hat, really surprising me when I heard the first track.
Thought this CD was produced by Joe Boyd (sounds like it) but I think he
just signed them to Hannibal.

Despite the name, the Hank Dogs are not an alt-country band. They're a
British trio whose dark folk music recalls melancholy Brits like June
Tabor and Nick Drake. Lovely stuff, with some rather unsettling lyrics.
I bet they've never heard of either the Hangdogs or the Honeydogs.--don
