Doug Macleod

Blues artist Doug MacLeod has earned an international reputation and won multiple awards for his tough, fleet-fingered guitar playing (typified by 2023's Raw Blues 1) and fluid bottleneck solos (the latter highlighted on 2015's Doug's Slide Guitar), as well as his impassioned and soulful vocal style. MacLeod most often performs on acoustic guitar, but he is also well-versed in electric styles (as on 1984's No Road Back Home), and he's also a respected songwriter and magazine columnist.
