Check out his radio show site at myspace.com/betterdaysradio for details. Influences: "Prairie. Footprints in silt, rockpile graves, nuisance grounds, barbed-wire fences. Wind singing in attics, pots hung on clotheslines to shine them back to silver. Uncle Bill at the slaughterhouse nights, black blood in the cracks in his fingers. Uncle Joe driving trains to Portal, North Dakota and back, his whistle at the crossroads while I slept. Farm summers, chewing wheat to gum, Zella's pie, neighbouring widow who called me a poet when I was eight. Grandfathers I never knew. Imagine, listen, dig in the clay. This was frontier and bones lie buried under. Fishing with Bill, curve in the road at Tuxford en route to Buffalo Pound. Meadowlarks on wires, wind blowing dust into my eyes, Hank Williams on the high-shelf radio. Why don't you love me like you used to do?Dylan led me back through Ramblin' Jack to Woody. Ochs, too. Buffy Sainte-Marie. Leonard Cohen. Mickey Newbury. Townes. Gaughan. Christy Moore. Willie P Bennett. Kristofferson. Prine Mimi Farina. Influenced by everything I've witnessed, felt, read, heard, touched, loved, lost, reclaimed. Learning to flower, as Gilbert said, by tightening.""Doug Lang brings back visions of a scenery hidden in the mind and the heart, written only by the best poets of ancient and modern times..." -Egbert Meyers, Holland~~~"I'm adding Doug Lang to my favorite Canadian songwriters, which includes Neil Young, Ian Tyson, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen..." -Mike Beck~~~"Doug Lang is for real. Thus he writes and performs songs that are for real. Cut from an old mold but here now too. In a world where integrity grows more and more scarce, Doug Lang still has it..." -Steve Young Sounds Like: Another voice has joined the choir... Record Label: wanted Type of Label: None |

TALKING OF WOMEN WITH YOUNGER MEN |
|
| I claim no expertise in talking of women and sex with younger men,
but have known my eyes to moisten
in moments while they laugh.
Is it that I know and carry the union already,
and so look on a woman... Posted by DOUG LANG on Sat, 19 Jan 2008 10:42:00 PST |
