The Doug Macleod appreciation thread


I own several of Doug Macleod's recordings. All are superb IMHO. The RR releases are probably/possibly the best sounding, although I also really like the releases he did with Audioquest. Tonight, I am listening to 'You can't take my Blues' on the tremendous JVC XRCD re-release of the Audioquest original. Incredible sound and music.
Ok, let's have your choices....

I love Doug Macleod! He carries on the tradition in a superb way.
I saw him live at the Blues Night in Heerlen many years ago. It was a wonderful evening. The program also included a young Carmen Gomes, later in the evening I saw Macleod and Gomes talking, she was listening to every word he said with utmost concentration. Judging from her recent albums I think she has put whatever advice he gave her to good use.
By the way, her albums are on special offer this week at https://www.soundliaison.com/
Check out ''Sings the Blues'' and the One microphone recording " Don't you Cry'' lovely to hear the tradition of ''low key'' blues being carried on.
If we would all only listen to "the real deal'' (and the real deal meaning dead and gone) the music would vanish. Doug is keepin the tradition alive in a superb way. Another younger example is Kelly Joe Phelps.
