Downbeat Magazine has published their Best Albums of 2017 list in their January issue, and Doug MacLeod‘s Break The Chain has made the cut!
“Doug MacLeod, a craftsman of rare skill and sagacity, share more than a few dramatic affinities with past greats as he offers his own creative parameters to the common 12-bar language. … distinctive, well-regulated singing and note-bending on classic guitars stimulate the keening hopefulness… [performed] with five assured sidemen, including his son Jesse on guitar. One topical spoken track, “What the Blues Means To Me,” affirms life’s light amid the darkness.”
