Each of the songs chosen for that album I chose because I related to the stories told in the songs.
JS: Are you keeping busy concerts and tours?
DB: At the moment, I’ve been very busy just getting settled here in TN.. However, I am beginning to book for this fall and will be very busy with concerts and I’m planning a tour to promote my brand new project.

The Country Music News International Interview

2013-08-06T02:28:45-05:00

Country Music News International recently conducted an interview with the former Alaskan Cowboy, now Nashville resident, DOUG BRINEY. Here’s an excerpt from that conversation:

Lamitschka: What is the difference between your last CD and your current one?

Doug Briney: My first project was completely self produced. From the photo’s to the art layout, song selection and everything that goes into making a project. “Super Country Cowboy” is being produced by Tate Music Group and my manager sifted through hundreds of songs to send me only those he thought would be best for me before I narrowed those down to the ones that will be on this project. So I think the difference will be a much more “polished” product and one that will really showcase who I am as an artist not producer.
