My Take
Doug Stone represents a kind of country music I quietly respect: durable rather than flashy. Born in 1956 in Marietta, Georgia, he arrived in 1990 with the wonderfully grim I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box), and both his debut and follow-up went platinum. What appeals to me is that his success rested on craft and feel rather than awards-season noise. I picture a voice that carries a little Southern dust, the sort that loosens your shoulders the moment it starts. I have a soft spot for honest, workmanlike singers who simply let the songs do the talking, and he fits that mold.
