Doug Stoffel

Shockingly, 11 years has passed since Dave Lee released his sole album under the disco-powered Doug Willis alias, Dougs Disco Brain. The two CD set featured versions of cuts he'd released under the pseudonym over the previous 15 years. Here it comes to digital download in newly expanded form, with the original set a mixture of tidy instrumental re-edits, sample-fired disco-house cuts and typically boisterous peak-time groovers - being accompanied by various new, rare and forgotten remixes. With 32 high quality tracks to wade through, picking highlights is tough, though our favourites include the percussion and horn-heavy You Should Be Dubbing, the soaring disco-house brilliance!

Reference Recordings is proud to present our fifth album with the prolific singer, songwriter, engaging storyteller, and masterful guitarist, Doug MacLeod.

Reference Recordings proudly presents our 6th release with the outstanding, multi-Blues Music Award winner Doug MacLeod.

Reference Recordings proudly presents our 6th release with the outstanding, multi-Blues Music Award winner Doug MacLeod. Internationally acclaimed for his original songwriting, warm, soulful vocals, guitar wizardry and witty storytelling, Doug teamed with producer Andreas Werner and engineer Joe Funderburk in Nashville’s Creative Workshop studio for “Between Somewhere and Goodbye”. Supported by Nashville notables, drummer Lynn Williams, Mark T. Jordan on piano, Wurlitzer electric piano and B3 organ, and bassist Paul Ossola plus the vocal harmonies of The Shoals Sisters: Cindy Richardson Walker, Marie Tomlinson Lewey and Carla Russell, Doug offers up a collection of eleven of his compositions presented in both solo and ensemble settings.

This dynamic and energetic performance by Doug Deming & the Jewel Tones, captured and recorded live at Atlantis Basel for the Groove Now!

Aquoi ça tient une bonne chanson ? À une mélodie toute simple qu’on devine composée à la guitare. À un trémolo en fin de phrase, façon hymne de pub, dont on se dit qu’il est un peu facilement placé et à la limite de l’énervant. Mais qui pourtant émeut et qu’on a envie de reprendre aussi sec. « Chez mes grands-parents y a du gazon / Y a une tombe au fond du bois chaque saison / Je m’y rends jamais, bien sûr j’ai mes raisons / Qu’il faut taire. » The Doug, débarqué de Clermont-Ferrand, n’a pas grandi au bord de la mer. Mais il compose des chansons de marins tristes. Qui paradoxalement donnent de la force. Il se cherche encore au micro.
