Douglas, Dustin -& Electric Gentlemen-
Black Leather Blues
BLACK LEATHER BLUES was recorded at Eight Days a Week Studios in Northumberland, PA by Paul Smith (Badlees) who engineered and co-produced the record with Douglas. The album was mixed by Brian Moncarz (Alice Cooper, Our Lady Peace, Phillip Sayce) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Black Keys, Royal Blood, Arctic Monkeys, Buddy Guy, Doyle Bramhall II, Green Day, Liam Gallagher, Elvis Costello.) "It ain't your poppa's blues," says Douglas. "I listen to Rage Against the Machine as much as I listen to Muddy Waters." "That blend of influences is what makes it unique." BLACK LEATHER BLUES is the follow-up to DDEG's 2018 release, BREAK IT DOWN. BREAK IT DOWN charted on The Blues Album Charts, Blues Singles Charts, and Blues-Rock Single Charts. In 2018, DDEG took home two Steamtown Music Awards for both BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR and ALBUM OF THE YEAR. YET Again in 2019, DDEG found themselves with 3 Steamtown Nominations for GUITARIST OF THE YEAR - VIDEO OF THE YEAR & LIVE PERFORMERS OF THE YEAR as well as an Independent Blues Music Award nomination for Blues/Rock Song of The Year for "Out of My Mind." The CENTRAL PA MUSIC HALL OF FAME nominated DDEG in 2021 and 2022 for BLUES ROCK BAND OF THE YEAR.
