Self-Portrait: Dougie Poole

Artwork by Mickey Miles

For our Self-Portrait series, we invite our favorite musicians to create an audio depiction of themselves through songs from the past and present.

The witty country crooner Dougie Poole keeps the wisecracking to a minimum on his standout new record The Rainbow Wheel of Death that’s full of sobering and self-conscious storytelling with a lightly twanged giddy-up. For his Self-Portrait, he herds in tunes by Don Williams, Doug Sahm, Joan Armatrading, J.J. Cale, The Fugs and others.
