Ah-ha! Swinging toward stardom ...

"If you have *any* interest in the future of Texas music, get a copy of Doug Moreland's self-titled CD ... you'll be glad you did.
This kid is about to hit it big ... trust me. Although he's not really comfortable being called the heir apparent to Asleep at the Wheel, the moniker fits. He's got swing in his blood, but he brings a new dimension to the honky tonk dance floor.
Raised in West Texas, this 33-year-old fiddle player is not an overnight sensation. He's been on the road for a long time, playing over 150 gigs a year. He and his band just got back from a European tour. His hard work is about to pay off.
His songs make you proud to be from the Lone Star State, where our music roots run deep, courtesy of Bob Wills, Roger Miller and Johnny Gimble. Can't help but smile when I listen. The first cut, "Boy Like Me," had me dancing in my chair.
Enjoy!
