Over the years Doug's song writing, singing, and playing are getting
more intense and personal. The new record is a perfect example of that
continuing development. On most tracks it will be just Doug singing and
playing guitar. The recording was done in a very old school way. Doug
sat down on a chair with a vocal mic, two mics for the guitars, and a
mic for his foot. We added very sparse percussion and bass on a few
tracks. Like all Doug's albums since 1994, were looking to capture the
live performances. As the title suggests, the recordings were made in
Utrecht (Netherlands), which has become Doug's favorite European city.

Although Doug has released a string of great studio recordings during his career, the real magic comes out during his shows and that is why we decided to record one of Doug's live performances. Besides being a great songwriter and musician Doug is also a very gifted storyteller. He's one of the few who had the opportunity to hang out with and learn from a lot of the great bluesmen during his musical life. Besides more then 95 minutes of live concert video you will also find an interview that will give great insight into Doug's life. You'll discover what the Blues means to Doug and what the music did for him. Plus we've included lots of other interesting bits and pieces including old pictures, stories, and more. Total playing time almost 3 hours. |

Where I Been turned out to be a concept album and it shows where Doug
has been musically and personally. You'll hear the musical influences
of country blues, folk music, and electric blues. On the personal side,
you'll hear in the lyrics some of the things Doug has experienced and
survived. There's humour here too. Doug truly believe that laughter is
a key to gettln' a handle on life. And of course you'll find hope
running thru' this album too.

Dubb is what George Harmonica Smith called Doug. He couldn't (or
wouldn't) say Doug, so he called him Dubb. Like all the albums Doug has
done since 1994 there are no over-dubs on this one. You hear a
performance, a musical snapshot in time by one of the last torchbearers
of the acoustic blues tradition. Doug doesn't like perfect records
instead he likes the 'grease' and what he calls 'stretching of time'.
To him, that's where feeling lives. This new record contains 12
original songs and like his previous records it is produced by sound
guru Joe Harley.

Doug MacLeod is one of the few artists of today that know the strength
of a good story. 'Never play a note you don't believe,' was the advice
he got from an old country blues player he met down in Virginia, Ernest
Banks. In his songs he talks about things that can happen to everyone
of us, rich or poor, black or white. Through this he knows to reach out
and touch people. This is what honest music is all about. It's about
giving a hand to somebody that's having a difficult time, bringing
people together and having respect for each other.

Two more great tracks that have not been released on a record but
definitely deserve to be heard. These tracks will be available as
DOWNLOAD ONLY. 1) MY GOOD GIRL BLUES This song comes from the Utrecht Sessions but didn't make it to that record… we just had too much good stuff to choose from. 2) DUBB´s TALKIN´ BARNYARD BLUES One of Doug´s funniest and most popular live songs. This take comes from a session for Bluesville, the show of Bill Wax at XM Radio. It was recorded and mixed by Quinton Roebuck in October 2008. |

The Doug MacLeod Band released four studio records but these never
captured completely what the band was about. In Doug's own opinion
these live recordings do. Thanks to Jim Ho Lee who recorded the band
live in the tradition of the Grateful Dead Deadheads this music lives
on. These songs are all written by Doug and were released on the albums
including the unavailable German releases. The musicians on these
tracks include Ed Czach, Mike Thompson, and Rich Wenzel on Keyboards.
Eric Ajaye and Bobby Tsukumoto on Bass. And last but certainly not
least Lee Spath on the Drums. This release will be available as
