Reference Recordings is proud to present the fifth album from singer, songwriter, engaging storyteller and master guitarist Doug MacLeod. On A Soul To Claim, Doug collaborated with legendary producer and engineer Jim Gaines (Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Luther Allison, Steve Miller Band) at Gaines’ studio in Tennessee, not far from his new home on the Mississippi River in Memphis.
Like the old masters who taught him, MacLeod’s music expresses life and time through an elusive quality that is perhaps simply a keen sense of the essential. “There’s humor in my songs, but also messages about how to get on with life. That’s what I learned from the elders.”
