After careful thought and deliberation, I have found that finding words to adequately describe Doug Gray's Soul of the South requires another round of thought and deliberation. Each time I take another listen, I am reminded that the round disc that spins and bears his name is significant with the never ending talent of one man. Doug Gray's core is laced with integrity, loyalty,and respect for successful beginnings. This project again validates what we have known all along that authentic music is timeless. There is not a song on this cd that doesn't impress and touch people from all ages to a variety of musical preferences. There is no way to narrow it down to just one. From the discreetly charismatic feel of Sandman, the instantaneously engrained tag of Don't Blame It On The Rain, to the classically heart wrenching ballad Still Thinking of You - all will leave you smiling while wiping away the tears. Soul of the South is simply musical art. ~aherndon
