The Doug Macleod appreciation thread


I own several of Doug Macleod's recordings. All are superb IMHO. The RR releases are probably/possibly the best sounding, although I also really like the releases he did with Audioquest. Tonight, I am listening to 'You can't take my Blues' on the tremendous JVC XRCD re-release of the Audioquest original. Incredible sound and music.
Ok, let's have your choices....

I know this thread is aging fast.  What a great thread though.  I just had to pop in late to the Doug MacLeod party.  

I bought a $10 Doug MacLeod video guitar lesson a year ago.  It was amazing.  Because of my skill level, I scooped up about 3-4 things that are now metabolized in my playing--despite the fact that he dosed out 3-4 hundred nuanced guitar moves.  

He seems committed to the passionate principle, Believe every note you play.  

Now, to the sound quality.  Wow.  His records sound gorgeous.  Robert Johnson would've killed for this sound quality. 
It's 3 months later and I'm still hanging out here alone in the Doug MacLeod appreciate thread!  At least I have him playing over the hifi.  Cheers!
@jbhiller   Not alone! But unfortunately also not in a crowd, by the look of it....too bad. I had hoped this thread might have been a bit more popular, but I guess it jives with Doug's popularity...which is IMO...a shame!
@daveyf , good!! It’s interesting how well he’s recorded too.
I’ve tried to play slide guitar, in particular in the Delta style. I’m not good. I do know a resonator sounds and Doug MacLeod’s records have those types of tones and timber-matching nuances that sound realistic and tasty to my ear. Plus he’s a monster player.
@jbhiller  Yes, Doug is a monster player... There are a few out there, not getting much attention these days. Funny how some monster players still keep flying under the radar. I know a few myself. 
BTW, I am listening to Ed Sheeran right now...he's a monster player who gets a little of the recognition he rightly deserves, IMO.
