Doug Seegers,”A Story I Got To Tell” (BMG)-New York born Doug Seegers’ first major album release in the UK offers a revealing insight into the work of a veteran performer whose life until fairly recently had been a constant struggle against the vagaries of homelessness, poverty and substance abuse. All this changed in 2013 however, when a chance meeting with a Swedish film crew on the streets of Nashville led to a lucrative recording contract and the rest, as the old cliche goes, is history. Swedish gold and platinum discs have followed in the interim,and Seegers’ latest eagerly anticipated offering, “A Story I Got To Tell, ” provides an eloquent vehicle for his soulful blend of country, blues, gospel, soul and rock.
