Singles: Mike Doughty - Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well
Jamie Kohns on April 18th, 2005
Browsing through Radio & Records’ Going For Ads, I notice a listing for this track from the highly anticipated solo album from Mike Doughty on ATO records (May 3, kids!). A quick click on the Electronic Press Kit, and bam! I’ve got the extended-title release of a terrific song playing! Anyway, Doughty’s sound from Soul Coughing to Rockitty Roll didn’t change too much, and at it’s core, isn’t much different here either. BUT, there is a LOT more production behind this track, giving it a larger sound than previous work from Doughty and at the same time detracting from the core beauty of Doughty’s songwriting. Don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE this track- top of the iPod playlist immediately- but I’m still rooted in Doughty’s earlier work. Either way, look for the single on your local “all mixed up, all the time” radio station (AAA), or on the album Haughty Melodic on May 3. Haughty Melodic was produced by ex-Semisonic Dan Wilson, and features guest appearances by Dave Matthews, and cellist Jane Scarpantoni.
