Description
In the ’90s, Mike Doughty was a minor MTV star as the frontman of Soul Coughing, the boho-jazz-hip-hop group that was inexplicably drafted into the alt-rock nation. While Doughty had a knack for hooky, unexpectedly poppy songcraft, it was clear that his many idiosyncrasies could not be contained by rock radio formatting. Since going solo in 2000, Doughty has eschewed pop moves in favor of following his own muse. It's taken him to places that have taken some longtime listeners aback: from stripped-down acoustic folk to boisterous rock and from jazz to electronic music. But even as Doughty has grown out of his stylistic constraints, certain things have remained—namely his interest in wedding twitchy Beat Poet-vocals to hip-hop-inflected grooves. - Paul M.
