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....

One of the reasons that I started this thread is because I think Doug is a tremendously talented musician. Playing blues guitar myself, I have a great appreciation for his talent and his skill set on the guitar. To add his killer vocal ability and you have something quite special, imho.

If we would all only listen to "the real deal'' (and the real deal meaning dead and gone) the music would vanish. Doug is keepin the tradition alive in a superb way. Another younger example is Kelly Joe Phelps.

Doug MacLeod is The Man. The blues master. Songwriting, guitar playing, vocal talent, the man has it all.

Really clean recordings. I enjoy Macleod and Harry Manx for the original and best in acoustic blues.
