Description
It's another one of my First Saturdays at Common Grounds shows, and I'm delighted to have my friend Jeff Wall with me. He's pretty damn good, but don't take my word for it. Here's what Patterson Hood from Drive-By Truckers has to say about him: "Earlier I went upstairs and I saw Jeff Wall, he calls himself Bigdumbhick and you know... he’s really big, and he’s undeniably kind of a hick, but there ain’t nothing dumb about that motherf**ker, he’s smarter than I could ever dream of being, and he writes really great songs and he has gotten So. F**king. Good."
So there. And me? Well, according to Eddie Huffman, the author of "John Prine, In Spite of Himself" and "Doc Watson: A Life In Music," "Doug Baker takes listeners all over the map on his new album, Navigating Life. Many of the songs have a quirky, lighthearted touch reminiscent of John Prine and Loudon Wainwright III. Baker writes about North Carolina’s most notorious arsenic poisoner in one (“All About Blanche”) and the joys of autumnal romance in another (“What Does Love Look Like Now”). He ties it all together with his lovely fingerstyle picking on acoustic guitar."
So come get a good cup of coffee, take a seat, and listen to us swap songs and insults. See you there.
