Italian Blues Magazine, Macallé Blues has a new review for Doug MacLeod’s A Soul To Claim in their “Discs to Consider” section:
“Doug MacLeod is one of the last and most iconic songwriters in blues that the contemporary scene can still offer. One of those endangered beings who should be preserved by some special law to protect the species and its few devotees. A Soul To Claim is his most recent album and … Despite the fact that this record marks a partial, tentative return to his electric beginnings, MacLeod nevertheless holds firm to his prevailing solo and acoustic soul, as well as all the witty humor and depth of vision that have always characterized his writing style.… MacLeod will make us smile and think. Or he will make us listen to evocative soundscapes where music becomes the speaking voice of a river metaphor, this time, for life.”
