Luke Doucet performs "The Broken One"

The aftermath of a broken heart is all too familiar for many musicians, especially when dealing with those demons in the midst of trying to make a record. For canadian singer/songwriter Luke Doucet, the experience fueled his latest release. Broken (and other rogue states), chronicles the end-of-relationship state of mind: He wrote half the album completely drunk and the other half completely sober. An alt-country record that incorporates roots sounds and mixes them with modern elements and Doucet’s silver-tongued lyrics, this may be his most accomplished work to date. Doucet has been touring since he was 19 and has already made and/or contributed to several successful albums, but Broken represents the man at his best, able to make every day things seem a little more exciting, and the unfamiliar a little less strange.
