My iTunes automatically classifies Dozi as "Easy Listening", which is a bit harsh. He's mellow, but with a soulful edge. Music critics will never listen to this CD, Dozi fans will (and should) buy it in the thousands. He's got a voice perfectly suited to folk rock singalongs, even if he has got execrable taste in shoes (Dozi is sponsored by Crocs? Well, I guess John Fogerty had a bad hairstyle, so it all fits.)
Dozi's cover of "The Midnight Special" is really good, a stand out song. The man sings like he means it, eschewing histrionics for solid empathy. Worth the admission price alone. Other highlights are a heartfelt version of "Who'll stop the Rain", which has to be one of the toughest songs to do justice.
Creedence weren't actually that popular a band in their day, being a little too conservative musically for the period, and a little too mainstream for critics' taste. The same could be said about Dozi's relationship with some parts of our music industry today. But hell, if a man sounds like he's singing songs he loves, he gets my vote.
