Auf seinem dritten Album mit »Prof.« Keith O. Johnson für Reference Recordings setzt Doug MacLeod seine Erkundung der menschlichen Verfassung fort. Break The Chain beinhaltet zwölf eigens komponierte, sehr persönliche und zugleich universelle Songs. Das Album wurde in den Skywalker Studios aufgenommen und ohne Overdubs oder Effekte auf CD gebracht. Denn wie der Sänger sagt: »This is music played by humans for humans. So there's no scrubbin' with over-dubbin', no fixin' in the mixin', and no pitch control on the console.«
In this release, his third album for Reference Recordings, Doug MacLeod continues to explore the breadth and depth of the human condition. Recorded by Reference’s Grammy-winning engineer »Prof.« Keith O. Johnson at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, California, »Break The Chain« brings twelve new MacLeod originals. Each song is extremely personal and at the same time, universal; covering subjects topical, humorous, and soulful; from the satirical to the sublime.
The title work, »Break The Chain«, composed and performed with his son Jesse, focuses on breaking the cycle of family violence and abuse. A powerful concern all too many are familiar with, Doug and Jesse confront this pervasive issue directly and personally, bringing it out of the shadows. Together, they share the healing, reconciliation and peace available to all who work to prevent the cycle from repeating and to »Break The Chain«.
The album is co-produced by Doug MacLeod and Janice Mancuso. Bassist Denny Croy, drummer Jimi Bott and percussionist Oliver Brown join Doug in duo, trio and quartet settings. Like all »Prof.« Johnson’s sessions, »Break The Chain« was recorded live, in real-time, with no overdubs or effects. It is being released on compact disc with HDCD.
A prolific singer, songwriter, engaging storyteller, and masterful guitarist, Doug is a perennial Blues Music Award nominee and multiple Blues Music Award winner including Acoustic Artist Of The Year and Acoustic Album of the Year. An active touring artist, MacLeod supports his beloved St. Louis Cardinals during baseball season and, when at home, enjoys cooking for wife Patti Joy.

Rezensionen
»Klanggenie Keith Johnson von Reference Recordings kleidete die Stücke in ein feines, leichtes sowie vollkommen natürlich erscheinendes Gewand und verzichtete auf jeglichen Trend zu fettem, effektvollem Blues-Sound. Gut so!« (Stereo, September 2017)»... ein räumlich und dynamisch perfekt ausbalanciertes Aufnahme-Setting ...« (stereoplay, September 2017)
»... feiner, sparsamer Blues, gefühlvoll gespielt ...« (Stereo, November 2018)
