Album Notes

This release is in league with Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band", Buckley's "Grace" and Sting's "Blue Turtles".
Locust is the embodiment of singer, songwriter, musician craftsmanship.
This is Doug Cash' greatest achievement...so far.

Michael Frazier reviews Doug Cash - the CD Locust

Hey Doug, thanks for the request. I listened to all the previews from your latest release at CD Baby, as requested.

You certainly have talent with the guitar and with your voice. Songwriting is good as well. All of the mixes were quite sharp and well done and everthing was very listenable. Lryics are well written and overall send thoughtful, very human, messages. I liked the diversity of this collection of tunes and the addition of some other sounds. Nicely done piece of work.

I personally liked Emotional Treason the best - very much reminded me of the style of a friend of mine. Solid tune. Your voice is at it's finest on Locust - very powerful and captures the emotion of the song. I also really liked the groove on Beyond 2 and the orchestration you created on Is You - very cool. Ending with Q is for Quinlan is a great idea. A very nice acoustic guitar instrumental with a bit of other sounds tossed in to keep it moving and hold the beat and timing.

Overall, this recording features some great messages held up by solid guitar playing and singing. The mix, I thought, was very well done. Everything there and in it's place. I noted no errors in timing or pitch in my listens. A winner in my book.


[4 out of 5 stars] A blend of Seal, Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell
Reviewer: Gary Arthur Brown (click for website)
Psychedelia, folk, and a slight, endearing groove. This is ?IS YOU? in a nut shell. Can you imagine? If you can, go ahead and imagine Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell on the same spaced out trip as ?68-era Brit-heads like the Pretty Things or Syd Barrett. It?s arty and soothing, like a Picaso Smoothie® at an AOR dance party. All in all, a really decent track. The serenity begins with some folk-heavy guitar strumming and plunky leads that make you want smoke Grass? despite all the straight-edge tattoos you?ve gotten during your stupid and squandered youth. Casperish, ghostly vocal harmonies fill out this warm musical mindscape. Dig in a little deeper and you?ll hear the esoteric lyrics calling you to your eternally blissful state of PSYCHEDELICIZING in a hammock beside strawberry fields forever. This song fits right in on the great album that is Classic Rock, blending conventional and unconventional influences and tones into a Tapestry, much like Carole King. Except, Doug Cash is a man. An interesting and talented specimen of a man. I like this song, but that doesn?t mean I?m gonna go around choppin? me head off over it. That would be bloody shameful. I will instead honor my liking of this song by continuing to live out my days, drinking Pepsi ® brand products, eating Italian coldcuts from Serra Brothers?? Italian Deli, and watching The Simpsons . Thank you. "I'm gonna teach you a lesson you'll never remember." GARY ARTHUR BROWN Gods of Music.com

Let me talk about a true artist here...
Doug Cash has been a fixture here on SoundClick for almost as long as I have and let me tell you that while his reviews are concise, a true professional like he is can sum up a tune perfectly in one or two sentences.

More importantly, Doug is a great musical talent. Excellent guitar playing and some of the best vocals on SoundClick, not to mention superior production skills.
If you haven't yet listened to Doug Cash's music... Do it NOW!
