Singer/songwriter Doug Balmain is streaming “Bad Habits” here and “Burnin Both Ends” here, off of his upcoming EP Burning Both Ends, out March 3, 2015.
A rock ’n’ roller with the voice of a soul man, Balmain’s lyrics and vocals have all the power & tenacity of a man desperately fighting for what’s his while maintaining the honesty and sentimentality of a true storyteller.
Doug’s musical diversity and eclectic range of influences are brought to light through his guitar work – which can echo with a haunting, acoustic sparseness reminiscent of the pre-war delta – flow with a rich, melodic voicing that’ll leave you thinking you’ve just heard The Edge and John Mayer’s unborn love-child caressing the fret board…while at other times it stabs through the heart of the song with a violent, electric wail evocative of an agitated, “Let it Bleed” era Keith Richards.
