Ever the consummate professional, Toronto-by-way-of-­Vancouver singer/songwriter Luke Doucet has constructed an airtight alt-country opus with his third solo studio full-length Blood’s Too Rich. Doucet’s crystalline Jeff Lynne–styled production values capture the finest nuances of his sturdy songcraft: precise guitar work, well-enunciated vocals and an able team of studio musicians and notable guests. Lead track “Long Haul Driver” sets the tone for this 63-minute journey with its even-tempered twang, and while length sometimes becomes the main feature of Blood’s Too Rich, the honky-tonk blues of “Beacon on the Southpaw” and “The Day Rick Danko Died” relieve the occasional onset of travel-weariness. Throw in Doucet’s country-fried improvement on The Cure’s classic “The Love Cats” and heap on the guitar solos, and there are more than enough highlights to make the trip worthwhile.
