Entertainment Industry Review
“In running a worldwide entertainment company, I come across many genres of music. I understand the complex nature of what makes a song stick in your mind as well as your heart.
It takes a special talent to not only make a melody flow, but when you feel like you are a part of the story of the song, that is when you have found the musician who is a genuine artist who stands above the rest.
Douglas is a testament to said artist. Once you take a listen to just one song, you will long to sit back and soak in his entire catalog of original content.
I guarantee that with the blend of his voice, wonderful musicianship and the tale he weaves into each and every song, you will become as enamored and delighted as I am.”

Press & Media Reference
“If you’re recording an album, it doesn’t hurt to have a few friends in Music City. The Haines Bros have more than a few of those.
On Friday’s Highway, brothers Lowell, Douglas and Terry Haines crafted a record stuffed to the gills with music reminiscent of 70s folk, country rock and acoustic ballads that finds a comfortable home in today’s Americana genre.
And they got a little help from Nashville session stalwarts David Mansfield, Vince Gill, Byron House, Bryan Owings and many others.”
