Doug is a throwback musicians in the great tradition of the traveling bluesman from the genre's classic era
Having apprenticed with some of the best as a sideman with such legends as Big Joe Turner, Pee Wee Crayton, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Big Mama Thornton and George "Harmonica" Smith
During that time, he developed his unique, unorthodox and powerfully rhythmic acoustic guitar style
Which he puts to great use on "There's A Time" playing on a variety of guitars with such pet names as "Moon" (a National M-1 Tricone), "Little Bit (a Gibson C-100 FE) and "Owl" (a National Style "O"), plus a National El Trovador 12-String
The other element of Doug's style is his remarkable ability as a storyteller, another trademark of the classic itinerant blues musician
Listening to the songs on There's A Time is like attending a master class on storytelling, as MacLeod weaves tales that are visceral, insightful and often humorous
Like the old masters who taught him, MacLeod's songs are based primarily on his own life and experiences
Iinstilled with the spirit one particular influential bluesman once told him: "Never play a note you don't believe, and never write or sing about what you don't know"
In a career that spans over 30 years, Doug's songs have been covered by such artists as Albert King, Albert Collins, Joe Louis walker, and Eva Cassidy
Two of his songs were on Grammy-nominated albums by King and Collins
He's co-written tunes with Dave Alvin and Coco Montoya, and his songs have been featured in many TV movies, as well as the hit TV series "In The Heat of the Night"
