The music of D.W. Doucet packs a big punch, but it all comes from just one person. The Fort Collins-based blues singer plays guitar while he adds percussion with his feet. (In this session, the songs feature the sounds of anvils and chains.) The one-man-band's debut album is "As I Roam Across A Dark Blue Night," based on Doucet's upbringing in Nova Scotia, Canada.
