Digital Booklet
Hot off the heels of winning The Blues Foundation’s 2017 Acoustic Artist Blues Award, Doug MacLeod presents his Break The Chain, twelve new original songs that explore the breadth and depth of the human condition. In the spirit of the best-loved blues tunes out there, the songs on this album are personal and yet universal, moving from humorous and soulful observations to the satirical and sublime.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
