Title Note

This double-disc set brings together two solo albums by former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty. Doughty's nasal twang and associative, image-filled lyrics made Soul Coughing one of the most distinctive cult bands of the 1990s, and those qualities are in full flower on the singer/songwriter's solo efforts. But Doughty's outings differ from Soul Coughing's funky, busy, sample-based music with their stark and stripped-down feel.

With only his acoustic guitar as accompaniment, Doughty creates a dark and mesmerizing ambience on SKITTISH, leaving ample room for his evocative wordplay and his wiry guitar and vocal phrasing. Occasional overdubs, such as the orchestral tones in "No Peace, Los Angeles" or the organ and vocal harmony tracks on "The Only Answer," flesh out the intimate, personal atmosphere of the album. Acoustic guitar also lays the foundation for the tunes on ROCKITY ROLL, though drum machines and synthesizers give the whole a nervy, lo-fi mood. The punchy pop of "27 Jennifers," for example, or the swirling New Wave vibe of "Down on the River by the Sugar Plant" keep things textured and varied. Five bonus tracks are tacked onto the end of ROCKITY ROLL, making this two-for-one release a real deal.
