ALBUM REVIEWS

ALL I NEED - DOUG BRUCE
(Independent)

Texan Doug Bruce fell in love with a good Aussie woman and Australia fell in love with the smooth, velvet tones of this die-hard country singer’s voice and music.  His honest and powerful lyrics are obviously welcomed by Australia’s country music elite – he won Best Male Vocalist at this year’s Tamworth Independent Artist Recognition Awards for his song What I’m Drinkin’ About, and also Best Contemporary Song for powerful I Know About Lonesome. 
Clearly a fan of all that Aussie music has to offer, Bruce has embraced the toe-tapping Australian beats to complement his smoky, Deep South voice.  Best of all, he has cottoned on to our dry sense of humour, making his songs a bit of fun as well. 
The title track reminds us all what’s important while the slower, more melodic I Know About Lonesome inspires courage and strength.  But it’s My Wish Upon a Star that sends us right back to our childhood to sway along to memories. 

SARAH WARNE, Sunday Herald Sun, February 8, 2009

If there is one thing I absolutely adore about country music, it’s those tex-mex smoky-barroom crooners. Give me a good GEORGE STRAIT song anyday. DOUG BRUCE started life in the Lone Star State of the USA and now, with an Aussie wife and young family, the Texan calls Australia home. His brand new CD All I Need is quite exceptional, as are his songwriting talents. His velvety tones really caress the music. First single, and title track All I Need is a chirpy track about the important things in life. What I’m Drinkin’ About, I Just Fixed My Heart and Punch Drink Love are real foot-tappers. I Know About Lonesome, Farther To Fall, That’s All It Takes and Angel Fly show a simply awesome talent to wring emotion from words and music. A fabulous album, for me Doug Bruce now sits right beside my George Strait collection! Have a listen – you won’t be disappointed!

7 track album, Brand New Memory, released in 2006

Brand New Memory is Doug’s self produced, debut EP. Included are songs written by Doug , his uncle Buddy Bruce, as well as good friends and Nashville singer/songwriters Billy Yates and Brit Stokes.

The title track Brand New Memory pokes a little fun at changes in relationships.

A Hero Like You was inspired by Doug’s two year old son and is a touching look at the relationship between a father and his child.

There Goes The Farm (Buddy Bruce) is a whimsical story of dreams gone astray.

Pieces reflects on the way love can make and break a man.

Would You Believe Me If I Lied (Billy Yates)

I've Got Her (Buddy Bruce) reminds us that you can have it all but have nothing if you ain't with the one you love.

Down In Texas (Brit Stokes) ... a piece of Texas culture.
