Doug Gibson is always throwing curveballs. Not with a baseball, mind you, but rather through his stories and songs. It seems like he somehow thrives on steady diet of contradiction. He plays blues and folk songs infused with the manic spirit of hard rock and heavy metal. He has written love songs full of anger and angry songs full of love and hope. He puts out more sound as a one man band than many bands with three or four members. It doesn’t seem like it should work, but once he starts playing and stomping and shouting and singing it somehow just makes sense because he pulls you in with all of the energy he puts out.
