Luke Doucet and The White Falcon: Blood’s Too Rich CD Release with special guest Melissa McClelland
Show Description
"Like Randy Newman and Neil Finn, Luke Doucet is a songwriter's songwriter." -Now Magazine
The year is 1973 CSNY have reunited for the Human Highway tour. Shortly after the release of Randy Newman’s Sail Away, Luke Doucet is born in Halifax, NS. They say a good writer writes what he knows. Some people spend years on the road collecting tales and trading licks enough to give their words weight and their music depth, but Luke need not look further than to his own family for inspiration and for all the notes to tell the tales. He is a master of stories because he knows all the good ones like the back of his hand. His palm is his family tree, and his fingers, spread wide as a web, are the means for his storytelling. The hand that masterfully takes the instrument to emotionally uncharted waters. The hand that all the passing eyes fix their gaze upon, note for note, lick for lick, pick by pick. Between pen and paper, nylon or steel strings, it will be written, remembered, repeated. And it will sound better than anything you¹ve ever heard. Born into his footsteps, while others take years to find their shoes - let alone grow into them enough to make a stand here, planted firmly, is the champion storyteller: a man raised in many parts who proudly carries his family’s history, unique in itself, from one place to another, wears it on his breast as his armour, his emblazoned emblem. He’s better for it because it¹s what he knows it¹s all he knows. It’s in his blood. Tonight Luke celebrates the release of his latest album, Blood’s Too Rich.
