Why don't you love me like you used to do? Dylan. Ramblin' Jack, Woody. Buffy, Leonard, Townes, Christy Moore and Joni. "Learning to flower," as Gilbert said, "by tightening." Doug has shared stages recently with Christy Moore, John Spillane, Steve Young and Krista Detor. ~~~~ ""Heard Doug Lang in Lisdoonvarna and Killarney in 2009. His San Gabriel may very well be my favourite song heard this year." -Christy Moore ~~~~ "Doug Lang brings back visions of a scenery hidden in the mind and the heart, written only by the best poets of ancient and modern times..." -Egbert Meyers, Holland ~~~~ "I'm adding Doug Lang to my favorite Canadian songwriters, which includes Neil Young, Ian Tyson, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen..." -Mike Beck ~~~~ "Doug Lang is for real. Thus he writes and performs songs that are for real. Cut from an old mold but here now too. In a world where integrity grows more and more scarce, Doug Lang still has it..." -Steve Young
