(13/08/2007) This guy is brilliant. Amazing writing of a genre someplace between Billy Joel and Ben Folds. It's just a remarkable puzzle to know that an artist like Doug isn't as much of a household name as those two! The playing and production are completely top notch. Perfect. The vocal performance flawless. The production totally professional to my ears. I have to admit, I've heard Doug's music before, and I am already a fan. Does this particular song crossover into the mainstream of music sales in 2007? Actually, I don't know. OK - several other decades smile through during this one, but it feels pretty timeless to me. Both of my thumbs are aloft. KEN MORRISON

Memories of Hall and Oates and even Stevie Wonder. Horns, twang-twang guitar, solid beat, cool groove. Im sure this young writer/musician has a long and glorious road ahead. Tune in and get to know him before he becomes a monster.

VARIETY
-Doug Scofield's lilting yet noble score is enormously appealing.
