Making A Scene‘s Richard Ludmerer says Doug MacLeod’s Exactly Like This “almost guarantees him two more [Blues Music Award] nominations in 2016.”
“Doug MacLeod has been nominated for thirteen Blues Music Awards. He finally won in 2014 for both Acoustic Album of the Year, “There’s a Time”; and more importantly as Acoustic Artist of the Year. His song “The Entitled Few”, from that album, also received a 2014 nomination as Song of the Year. … MacLeod is an American original as his songs; storytelling style and soulful vocals are mesmerizing. MacLeod developed his style by pursuing this tradition over the last 30 years. MacLeod has already received an Acoustic Artist of The Year nomination for the 2015 Blues Music Awards to be held this coming May in Memphis. This new album almost guarantees him two more nominations in 2016. This new recording is highly recommended listening.” —Richard Ludmerer, Making A Scene
