Mike Doughty

Editor's Review:
As this recording of a one-man show in Minneapolis captures, Soul Coughing
frontman Mike Doughty is a talented songwriter, a good guitar player and as
a solo performer, has unique senses of both lyrical and musical construction
and vocal execution. In his signature, gruffly nasal voice, Doughty delivers
lyrics that are just slightly incongruous enough to avoid the cheesy overtones
that can often ruin the singer-songwriter aesthetic, but intelligible enough
to still be able to relate to people's hearts and minds. The New York musician's
guitar playing is as equally impressive, though according to the liner notes,
enhanced by ProTools. Still, the sound is great, and Doughty's playful, comfortable
and easy exchange with the audience is evident in between-song banter and mid-song
riffing with the crowd. This mellow, warm and well-recorded release is available
from Doughty at www.superspecialquestions.com.
