Encyclopedia
Mike Doughty is an American indie
and alternative rock
singer-songwriter
. He led the band Soul Coughing
in the 1990s, and in the 2000s, became a solo artist. His best known songs include "Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well" and "I Hear the Bells", both of which were featured on American television shows.

course, "The Shape and Nature of Things to Come."
(billing himself then as M. Doughty), and released the minor hit singles "Super Bon Bon" and "Circles".
Wearying of the band and addicted to heroin, Doughty broke up Soul Coughing in 2000, and was promptly dropped by Warner Brothers. A few years later, Doughty beat his addiction
and started touring as a solo artist. He drove around the country in a rental car, covering 9,000 miles on his first tour, playing acoustic shows, often to crowds of Soul Coughing fans. After the shows, he would sit at the front of the stage and sell copies of his acoustic album Skittish
— then on CD-R
s in plain white sleeves — a record that he had recorded for, and which was rejected by, Warner Brothers in 1996. During his three-year tour, Doughty sold 20,000 copies of Skittish and gradually developed a following independent of Soul Coughing.
At the Bonnaroo music festival in 2004, Doughty bumped into Dave Matthews
, a longtime Soul Coughing fan who had the band open for him on two US tours, including shows at Madison Square Garden
. When Matthews professed to be a fan of Doughty's solo record Rockity Roll
and the song "27 Jennifers," Doughty gave him a CD with rough mixes of an album he had been working on in Minneapolis with singer-songwriter and producer Dan Wilson
. Matthews eventually released the album on his ATO
label as Haughty Melodic
(an anagram
for 'Michael Doughty'.) Haughty Melodics hit single, "Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well," received heavy airplay in 2005; Doughty made a music video
for the song with director/photographer Danny Clinch

left the group, and was replaced by John Kirby.

on October 6, 2009. It consists of 18 tracks including a version of "Casper the Friendly Ghost

Doughty embarked on a tour,"The Question Jar" tour, in the fall of 2009 to support the album, backed again by Andrew "Scrap" Livingston.
