A soft rock tribute to the truest kind of love.

Released August 1st, 2023, Golden ChildĀ by Park City-based Gary Dranow & The Manic Emotions is a sincere, full-band album centred around one of life’s purest bonds: the relationship between a dog and its owner. Tying its launch to Universal Shelter Dog Birthday, this project is as emotionally resonant as it is musically rich—drawing inspiration from the likes of Bryan Adams, Train, Oasis, and Counting Crows.


ā€œUnconditional love can conquer all.ā€

That’s the mantra behind Golden Child. While many albums wax poetic about romance and rebellion, Gary Dranow opts for something quieter—and, arguably, more radical: a celebration of loyalty, empathy, and emotional healing. Whether it's a gentle acoustic ballad or a guitar-driven soft rock anthem, the album’s heart never wavers.

For the love that never leaves.

Golden ChildĀ arrives with its core message clear: love isn’t always loud, but it’s always there when it matters. For pet lovers, sentimental souls, and fans of golden-era songwriting, this album hits home.
