Where I Been (2006)

"After struggling with childhood abuse and a crippling stutter, country blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist Doug Macleod found his true voice when he picked up a guitar and began to sing. Stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, he spent his off-base hours playing in the local blues clubs, developing a unique and rhythmic country blues acoustic guitar style, often abetted with intricate bottleneck slide runs, and a soulful and powerfully immediate vocal style. By now a bandleader on his own, he released a debut album, No Road Back Home, in 1984, following it with a litany of studio and live albums, including Woman in the Street (1986), 54th and Vermont (1987), Ain't the Blues Evil (1991), Come to Find (1994), You Can't Take My Blues (1996), Unmarked Road (1997), Live as It Gets (1999), A Little Sin (2002), Where I Been (2006), and Brand New Eyes (2011). His songs were covered by a range of artists, from Albert King, Albert Collins, and Joe Louis Walker to Eva Cassidy. (Allmusic)
