Sounds Like:

Heavily influenced by the lyrical style of John Prine, Doc’s music can probably be best described as “Folk-Americana”. Simple ballads and lyrics that share a story with the listener have always had a special appeal, and Doc’s music is always genuine, heartfelt and moving. His lyrical storytelling and passionate, haunting delivery reveal the unvarnished, emotional side of life; reflecting images that are often eerily familiar to us on a very basic human level.
