Met both Doug and EmmyLou at the dog rescue event [they are both REAL people]...I lived in Tennessee until I was eighteen and I'm back! Thirty years in Connecticut, and now I am having a wonderful time, back home...with some of the most wonderful childhood "neighbors", including Will Kimbrough, Tommy Womack, and their wives, just this week! Proud of all of them. Now my friend Amy Black a Boston based Singer/Song Writer, is moving back near her parents, in Nashville. Looking forward to my "Golden Years"...
Doug you have such a voice that touches peoples souls...your story is something to be endured by many..but you lived it..your humbleness will take you far..your voice has gotten you where you are.. but your careing of others will take you to places unseen....may god continue to bless you thru music an touching others with your songs.... god bless
Jill Johnson is the country queen of Sweden. She spend a lot of time in Nashville. Every year she also make a swedish tv show named Jills veranda (Jills porch) with a swedish artist in Nashville. 6 shows a year with different artists. This time it was with Magnus Carlsson and he has a band named Weeping Willows after Jonny Cash song. When they met and heard Doug singing Going down to the river they booked Cash studio and recorded Doug. Then it exploded in Sweden and Doug have been here many times.
Its a bit wierd that Swedish people had to go to Nashville and "discover" him.. For me his voice is the definition of country music. Well Im happy that the amreican people also embrased him afterwards. I wish him all the best and that his tough days are over.
this man can sing with just abt anyone, and i love the song,(she) emmy lou said it right that doug has that certain something in his voice that is so country like i remember country, i love it!
I think EmmyLou picked up on him because she heard something in his voice that Gram Parsons had in his. And he had the same kind of demons Gram had, apparently. He survived, and that's saying something. (plus he's really good!)

The man has paid his dues. He wasn't discovered on American Idol. I'm so happy for him to get his just reward.
