quote from the review in BLUES NEWS (Norway):
"Hollandske Black & Tan Records er nå ute med sin andre slike utgivelse,
og
de har et meget fint knippe artister å by på. Førstekl***** blå artister
som
Boo Boo Davis, Doug MacLeod, Billy Jones, Big George Jackson, Byther Smith
og Percy Strother er alle å finne på dette selskabet, sammen med litt
mindre
kjente, men likevel meget habile, artister som Mike Andersen, Turnip
Greens,
Teresa James og Harrison Kennedy."

quotes from the review in JUKE BLUES (UK):
"Caution: if you have a problem with modernity, look away now! .. We
should
applaud such daredevil endeavors and it is time to move on; this works
very
well and is an effective sampling (no pun intended) of modern trends. I
suppose it is primarily aimed at a new and younger audience, but I fear
that
by doing so, it will alienate the less adventurous blues follower."

NEW RELEASE by DOUG MACLEOD
DO B&T 908 - DOUG MACLEOD - Live at XM Radio vol. 2
Recordings were made BY Quinton Roebuck in the studio of XM Radio in
November 2007 for Bluesville (Bill Wax). This release will be available as
DOWNLOAD ONLY. At the weblog at December 30 you will find the direct link
to
this release at eMusic.
review of the DVD in JUKE BLUES (UK):
"Doug MacLeod is a talented guitarist and raconteur, famed for his
intimate
and amusing live shows, so the DVD format is ideal for demonstrating his
forte. Along with a typical live concert, we get an interview covering
Doug's
life and influences, and also a selection of 'stories', such as the one
about Big Joe Turner's teeth. I can't tell it the way he does; you'll just
have to buy the DVD."

download only) at the two main download platforms (Emusic and iTunes).
