Reviews :
" Since the mid-1980s, American singer, guitarist and songwriter Doug MacLeod has been delighting the blues world with outstanding albums. His warm, soulful voice, virtuoso guitar playing and excellent storytelling have earned him not only a loyal fan base worldwide, but also several Blues Music Awards. For “Between Somewhere And Goodbye,” his sixth album for Reference Recordings, the artist, who is also extremely popular in audiophile circles, teamed up with producer Andreas Werne and sound engineer Joe Funderburk at Creative Workshop Studio in Nashville, as well as mastering engineer Sean Royce Martin from Reference Recordings. On his latest release, MacLeod presents eleven exciting compositions, which he performs both solo and with renowned musicians from Nashville. Blues Music Magazine writes about “Between Somewhere And Goodbye”: “Like all great blues musicians, MacLeod lives his music, and the songs are not just on his fingertips and his tongue, they are one with his being.”
“This album is a little different from my other albums,” says Doug MacLeod. “Oh, there's blues, humor, and even a touch of soul. And... there's a theme that runs through many of the songs.” Together with the “Funky Chester Rhythm Section” – consisting of drummer Lynn Williams, Mark T. Jordan (piano, Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond B3), bassist Paul Ossola and the Shoals Sisters (vocals) – who have worked with musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, John Hiatt, Levon Helm, Delbert McClinton, Lyle Lovett, Van Morrison, Buddy Guy and the Saturday Night Live Band, MacLeod paints a fascinating portrait of his new home with his Waterloo WLS Deluxe and vintage Gibson. Since moving to Memphis, Tennessee, the mighty Mississippi has had a major influence on his life and songwriting. Incidentally, the cover features a painting of the iconic Hernando de Soto Bridge, created especially for this album by artist Matthew Hasty.
