Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mike Doughty first gained attention as the frontman of Soul Coughing, a New York trio that put out three albums in the 1990s. Their debut 'Ruby Vroom' arrived in 1994, followed by 'Irresistible Bliss' and 'El Oso'. The band's sound was a mix of hip-hop, jazz, and experimental rock that developed a cult following but never broke through commercially.
After Soul Coughing ended in 2000, Doughty started releasing solo records. His early solo work included 'Haughty Melodic' in 2005 and 'Golden Delicious' in 2008. He wrote songs like '27 Jennifers' and 'Looking At The World From The Bottom Of a Well' that showed his particular way with lyrics and melody.
In 2010 he put out 'Yes and Also Yes', which included the track 'His Truth Is Marching On'. The album was well-received and marked a solid period in his solo catalog.
