Description

"One of the great blues artists .... period!" (Jorma Kaukonen)

In this candid authorized biography, Blues Music Award-winning musician Doug MacLeod reveals how he overcame an abusive childhood to become a celebrated singer, songwriter and modern master of the blues guitar. The book traces the highs and lows of MacLeod's six decades in music. From St. Louis to the coffeehouses of hippie-era Norfolk. From the backwoods of Toano, Virginia to the rough-and-tumble blues clubs of 1970s Los Angeles. From his electric LPs of the 1980s to the recording of 2018's Acoustic Album of the Year Break The Chain. Along the way, MacLeod shares recollections of contemporaries like Albert King, B.B. King and his mentor George "Harmonica" Smith.

"A life in blues music wonderfully captured, explored and explained." (Blues Matters)

Featuring a "guest spot" by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane) and a wealth of archive photos, Who Is Blues Vol. 1: Doug MacLeod tells a story of family, friendship, foregiveness and the great and mystical healing power of the blues.
