Doug MacLeod is a unique, powerful guitarist with a rich and soulful voice, singing original songs based on his own life and experiences. His new album Exactly Like This is his third release with Reference Recordings. This is 'Genuine Original Acoustic Music' at its very best, in a richly detailed recording by Grammy-winning engineer Keith Johnson, made at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, CA. Doug MacLeod isn't just a blues guy, he's a singer/songwriter/storyteller and serious guitarist. He is one of the few modern artists doing all original material and traveling the country like a troubadour.
Live-in-the-studio audiophile recordings aren’t a guaranteed success. Sometimes those meticulously documented performances with perfect microphone placement lack one essential thing: that sense of being in the moment that musicians lose when they know that if they don’t get it right their flaws will be revealed in the same vivid detail as the rest of the recording. Fortunately on Exactly Like This blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Doug MacLeod seems as animated and inspired as he would be if he were playing to a live audience. You especially notice this on “Ain’t It Rough” and “Seriously Doin’ Woman,” where his storytelling before and between verses convincingly gives the impression of a concert performance. And it doesn’t hurt that the sound is amazingly lifelike on this 24-bit HDCD release engineered by “Prof.” Johnson that effectively captures the timbre of five different National Resonator guitars and (on some cuts) pianist Mike Thompson, bassist Denny Croy, and drummer Jimi Bott; a showcase for Bott, the instrumental “Ridge Runner” is both a musical and sonic highlight. It’s not all fun and games either, as the more pared-down performances bring out MacLeod’s plaintive side (“Find Your Right Mind,” “New Morning Road,” “Heaven’s The Only Place”).
‎道格·麦克劳德(Doug MacLeod)是一位独特而强大的吉他手,拥有丰富而深情的声音,根据自己的生活和经历演唱原创歌曲。他的新专辑《Exact Like This》是他与参考录音公司合作发行的第三张专辑。这是“真正的原创原声音乐”,由格莱美获奖工程师基思·约翰逊(Keith Johnson)在加利福尼亚州马林县的天行者之声(Skywalker Sound)录制的丰富细节的录音中,道格·麦克劳德(Doug MacLeod)不仅仅是一个蓝调人,他是一个歌手/词曲作者/讲故事的人和严肃的吉他手。他是为数不多的现代艺术家之一,他做所有原创材料,像吟游诗人一样在全国各地旅行。‎
‎现场录音棚发烧友录音并不能保证成功。有时,那些精心记录的带有完美麦克风位置的表演缺乏一件基本的东西:当音乐家知道如果他们不做对,他们的缺陷将以与录音其余部分相同的生动细节显示出来时,音乐家就会失去的那一刻。幸运的是,在《完全像这样》中,蓝调吉他手、歌手和词曲作者道格·麦克劳德(Doug MacLeod)看起来就像他向现场观众演奏时一样充满活力和灵感。在“Ain't It Rough”和“Seriously Doin' Woman”中,你特别注意到这一点,他在诗句之前和诗句之间的讲故事令人信服地给人一种音乐会表演的印象。在这款由“教授”约翰逊设计的24位HDCD版本中,声音非常逼真,这并没有什么坏处,它有效地捕捉了五种不同的国家共鸣器吉他和(在某些剪辑中)钢琴家Mike Thompson,贝斯手Denny Croy和鼓手Jimi Bott的音色;作为Bott的展示,器乐“Ridge Runner”既是音乐又是声音的亮点。這也不全是樂趣和遊戲,因為更簡短的表演帶出了麥克勞德平淡的一面(“尋找你的正確心智”,“新晨路”,“天堂是唯一的地方”)。‎
