This one took awhile, but now "the Douce is loose". "Mama Let Him Play" -- Jerry Doucette's most succesful single -- was drawn from his 1978 debut album of the same name (pictured). The disc was recorded for the ill-fated Mushroom Records, (whose roster also included Chilliwack and Heart). It rapidly achieved platinum status in Canada, and in 1979 Doucette landed the Juno Award for Most Promising Group. The follow-up album The Douce Is Loose (1979) went gold in Canada. At the time, songs like "Mama Let Him Play" had music critics tapping Doucette to be the next major rock guitar hero, while later analysis had it that this possibility was derailed by both the rise in popularity of New Wave music and Mushroom's financial woes. In the 1990's Doucette was able to reclaim the rights to Mama Let Him Play, and it was re-issued in 1995 by Reluctant Records.
