Doug is a Connecticut based singer/songwriter/guitarist, who recored this whole album in various studios throughout his home state. You'll hear a wide range of influences on this one, from the full band"Seattle Sound" to the softest solo acoustic tracks and everything in between. It's a collection of tracks he previously released on CD but that were not available on Itunes so he wanted to compile them all and release them worldwide.His influences on this batch of tunes were Counting Crows, Train, Simon Townsend (Pete's youngest brother... a fellow doug toured with for while in the late 90's) and just good ole American Songwriters like James Taylor. You might even hear little Jethro Tull in this album.
