Dig is the debut album by the Canadian rock band I Mother Earth, released by Capitol and EMI on August 10, 1993. The album was certified Gold in Canada in its initial run, and stands at platinum today. It also won a Juno Award in 1994 for Best Hard Rock Album.
The album was noted for its metallic sound, balanced with psychedelic-style lyrics and instrumentals, and further backed by Latin percussion. The latter two were often brought into play during lengthy jam sessions.
It is the band's only studio album not to feature bassist Bruce Gordon, who joined the band during the recording sessions and is credited in the album liner notes. However, his parts were actually performed by guitarist and composer Jagori Tanna.
