Hailing from central North Carolina - the home of the piedmont blues, Doctor Oakroot describes his music as "rough-edged songs from a dark place in the soul." Some folks would call it blues, but Oakroot believes that many people have too narrow a definition of blues... and his music is anything but narrow.
"A song should tell a story," says Oakroot, "and the guitar should support that story - not get in the way." And that's how his live music goes - he sings the story over a supporting guitar part... plain and simple.
This CD, Hapless Fool, is a collection of songs, mostly performed as the Doctor performs them live - just voice and guitar - with some little things - e.g., percussion, lead guitar parts - added to sweeten the mix.
