Doug Spears' deep sense of place and love of his native Florida stride to center stage of the national folk and acoustic music scene with Welcome Home. Doug has been described as having “sand in his boots and orange blossom honey in his throat” and Welcome Home, his star-studded new release on the Cypress Moss Records label, proves the point. Thirteen original songs, plus a special bonus track, deliver vivid images, colorful characters and fascinating tales in the words of a master storyteller and the music of a latter day minstrel – Florida's Native Troubadour. “Stellar songwriting, perfect vocals, superb musicians and masterful production combine to create a rare album. This is not Margaritaville, it's a whole lot better.” - Don Sechelski - 01/24/2010 - The Muse’s MuseThis music isn't about the Florida of Disney World, Margaritaville and spring break.
