Dougie Poole At Tubby's

On his new live album At Tubby's Dougie Poole presents stripped down live versions of some of his most treasured songs in a venue beloved by artists and fans alike. The version of Dougie's live band on At Tubby's features main stays Mike Etten on electric guitar and James Wyatt Woodall on pedal steel. This set was a natural for release as a live album as it was a special night for everyone there. One of those nights when the music, audience and venue (known for it's exceptional treatment of musicians) all come together. On opener "Los Angeles" Etten's classic country licks and Catfish's soaring slide lines perfectly compliment Dougie's formidable acoustic work and golden baritone, setting the stage for all to come. You can tell these three have been playing together for years and are road tested in this formation. They tackle some of Dougie's most loved songs, from rave-up's like "Vaping on the Job" to country balladry ("Must Be in There Somewhere," "Don't You Think I'm Funny Anymore") to new interpretations of favorites from Dougie's last studio album The Rainbow Wheel of Death like "High School Gym" and "Nickels and Dimes." "Toshiba Sky," a one off digital single from 2020, receives it's vinyl debut on At Tubby's and we also get a new composition, "Heaven Sent an Angel (We Got Stoned)," a heartfelt ear worm with one of Dougie's most memorable choruses to date. There is truly something for everyone on this song-cycle. At Tubby's was recorded mostly from the board with minimal mixing work from Dougie himself on analogue tape. Mastered by Carl Saff.
