about
Douglas Greer is an up-and coming Austin-based alt- country singer who launched his debut album, Just a Man, in July 2006. The album, produced by Michael Ramos, features appearances by Ramos (John Mellencamp) on keyboards, accordion and percussion, Mark Hallman (Carole King) on piano and backing vocals, David Grissom (the Dixie Chicks) on lead guitar, Tommy Shannon (Stevie Ray Vaughan) on bass and Michael Longoria (Patty Griffin) on drums. Since then the album has topped the Euro-Americana charts and has gotten rave reviews: “Brilliant debut album... Ingenious character sketches that could have come straight out of a bestseller… One of the best Alternative Country Rock CDs of the year.” REAL ROOTS CAFÉ—August 2006 “Just A Man is what roots country music is all about… Not only is Greer a singing talent but he is also a great songwriter. All and all, it is a great CD for the roots fan.” ROOTS MUSIC REPORT—August 2006 “Incredibly strong material… A classic example of how, in our opinion, Americana is supposed to sound… [Greer is] a master of telling stories and drawing character sketches…” CTRL ALT COUNTRY—August 2006 “A real beauty… Alternative Southeast Texas country rock molded into ten great songs that create the same atmosphere for which musicians such as Ryan Adams, Steve Earle, James McMurty and Joe Ely are famous.” ROOTSTIME—August 2006 User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
