An absolute RAVE review for Doug MacLeod's “Between Somewhere and Goodbye” from Living Blues!

“MacLeod’s soulful side shines on Roll Like a River and his sensitive guitar style comes through on Even Angels Get Too Sad to Fly. Doug MacLeod’s playing carries the weight of a lifetime—and the fire of someone just getting started. It’s the blues of wisdom. And it’s never sounded better.” —Frank Matheis, Living Blues
