You'll see doug playing his song "Blue Room" in the Universal Pictures Film One True Thing with Meryl Streep & Renee Zellweger. He does a live version of "Blue Room" on this CD "A little Bit...Live" is a recording of one of my acoustic shows at the Globe Theater in Norwalk, CT. The master tapes of this show have been on a shelf in my room for a long time and I've always liked listening to them, so while in between recording tunes for the new CD and getting the band ready to hit the road, I decided to release my favorite songs of that night on CD. Hope ya like 'em. doug allen - interview with self - Spring 2001 Since the movie things have gotten better Not just in music but overall. I've got a dog now. He's a Belgian Sheepdog and he's my total Bud. Also, I don't put as much pressure on myself these days, even less on other people. That's just growing up I guess. It's the same thing we talked about last time... "the harder you push for things sometimes, the more resistance you can get." So work hard but take it easy. I never expected I'd be playing one of my songs in a Meryl Streep Movie...I was painting houses at the time, Then one day THE PHONE RANG FROM CALIFORNIA AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO PLAYING 'BLUE ROOM' in the UNIVERSAL PICTURES FILM, ONE TRUE THING. That's not to say you don't have to work hard, you definately do. But as far as working with other people, you pretty much have to let them do what they do. If you want a drummer to play like Zeppelin's John Bonham, than you'ld better find a guy who already does that kind of thing and not try to make a Neil Young drummer play hard. Hold out for what you want, work hard and don't take any shit from people... That's my formula for success (laughs) RECORDS- I've got the live CD out on CDBaby (Yea!) and now I'm finishing up my third album on Archer Records. I'm pretty psyched about it. It's called "Hollywood," named after the title track. I've been workiing with Scott Spray on Bass (Edgar Winter Group) and Richard Crooks on drums (Bob Dylan's 'Blood on the Tracks')in the studio and I'll be doing more recording and touring this spring with my new band: Doug Grober on drums, Tbone Stone on Hammond and Keys, Angelo Biasi-Piano, Jamie Lebish-guitar, and Lanny Shreve on Bass.
