Vancouver multi-instrumentalist Luke Doucet--perhaps best known as Sarah McLachlan's guitar player and as the former frontman of the critically heralded group Veal--is a fiercely gifted musician, and his fourth solo album Blood's Too Rich shows off his talents beautifully. The album overflows with sonic atmosphere, with a vibe that resonates somewhere between the Eagles' Hotel California and the twangy jams of a good Steve Earle tune. Not surprisingly, Doucet surrounds himself with an equally talented band, the White Falcon which notably includes his wife, the respected singer/songwriter Melissa McClelland on backing vocals. Guest contributors add to the alt-country agenda, a Toronto-heavy team ranging from Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy and Basil Donovan to Crash Vegas' Colin Cripps. There are a host of driving-down-a-dusty-Southern-highway style-tunes, from the title track to the blistering Doors-affected jam at the end of “First Day (In the New Hometown)” to the harmony-heavy “The Day Rick Danko Died.” In fact, extended jams are pretty much the trademark on Blood's Too Rich, appearing throughout and ultimately tying it all together. The album's only low point? Doucet's cover of the Cure's “Lovecats.” While Robert Smith's version is joyful and original, Doucet's cover is lifeless and dull, leaving the listener feeling a tad declawed. --Denise Sheppard

Customer Reviews

A great followup to Broken and Other Rogue States (2008-01-18)

Great CD from a local Canadian musician. Luke takes the best parts from his last album, (great upbeat riffs, slick solos etc.) and takes them away from his breakup concept while still managing to create a similar feel. The first CD i have purchased in a while that sounded good the first time i listened to it. If you ever get a chance to see him and his band live... take it!
