Doug Briney is far from your typical country music artist, Briney preaches a whole different tune and in Sunday night's June 30th Stage It show Briney delighted once again with his thirty minute Fathers and Freedom show. Those who missed the show Doug performed new material that is set to be included on his debut album under Tate Music Group. The first single release to come from the album " Money The Gun and The Bible" is Briney at his best without steering too far from his Christian roots. I must say what you get from Doug is surely a relaxed comfortable feeling, that easy feeling will touch you deeply. Briney  may not be as familiar as today's most traditional country artists though has made a name for himself independently over the past couple of years who's previous material "It's All Country" and "More Than A Farm To Me" set the standards of traditional country music, with a now new approach Doug and his family made the move from the snow banks of Anchorage, Alaska to Nashville who's still adjusting temperature wise and continuing to settle in, in a little at a time. Nashville couldn't look better on Doug as he steers ahead on his debut titled Super Country Cowboy, a release date is yet to be announced. One of several songs performed during the Stage It show was in fact the title track "Super Country Cowboy", rhythmically the song has it's moments and is quite different from the country crossover material being played in country radio today. The cover song that was specifically chosen to make the list on  Briney's debut album Brooks and Dunn's "Believe", Doug's passion, heart and vocal conviction is breath takenly refresh to the ears and fans will enjoy this cover as much as I do. A personal favorite of mine is "Unknown Solider" which Doug performed on his very first Stage It show a month earlier. The song's powerful message reminds us of our sacrificing men and women who fight for our country, as once a marine, army, or navy veteran always one, that is surely coming from my own experience as the daughter of a marine veteran. Other songs performed during the show, "The Choices You Make", "Feels Like Summer", and  "I Get To" all which showcase Doug's growth musically and vocally. Briney has come a long way and I'ms sure to it to continue to root for him all the way. Country is country no matter how you look at it.
