ABOUT THE RECORD Come to Find is a blues album by storytelling bluesman Doug MacLeod. He became acquainted with the blues in St Louis in his teens and started his career playing country blues on acoustic guitar, finding that singing eased a chronic stutter and helped him to eventually overcome it. Although predominantly associated with acoustic guitar, his skills were developed as a blues bass player, and honed by his subsequent journeys into jazz and electric blues. MacLeod plays only his own compositions (of which he is credited with over 300), but his music has also been recorded by many other artists. He has also been a long-time contributor to Blues Revue magazine with his column "Doug's Back Porch". The sparseness of the arrangements make Come to Find admirable and draw even more attention to the music both overall and in its subtleties. It showcases brilliantly Bill Stuve's upright bass work, and for Jimi Bott, how unusually placed but effective drumbeats prove him a blues drummer deserving greater recognition. Since I Left St. Louis has MacLeod reflecting on his early adult years of fast life, women, and drinking, and the lessons painfully learned from those experiences. The title track is a realization that making the most out of life is better than a life of abuse, whether it be child abuse, substance abuse, or any other kind. Always a master on the harmonica, Charlie Musselwhite blows on Willie Dixon's Bring It On Home and the MacLeod-penned Lost Something This Morning. A great example of Piedmont-style blues is illustrated in Old Virginia Stomp, dedicated to mentor Ernest Banks. Backup singers Black Cherry round the album out with the uplifting gospel feel of Ain't No Grave, which tells of the triumph of the afterlife over death." (allmusic.com)
