Doug Haywood's 2nd album, "In These Rooms" was completed in 2004. (Buy it here.)

There are a couple of older songs which were previously recorded by others in amongst the new songs. "Don't Lead Me On" was recorded by Jennifer Warnes; was released as a single and on the album "Right Time Of The Night." It was also recorded by Doug and Rodney Dillard and John Hartford (and others.) "Ding Dong Howdy," a children's song, was recorded by several people and finally by The Dillards. Doug's version of these two songs appear on the "In These Rooms" album, along with new songs written by Doug, Darcie Deaville, Rick Cunha and Pete Wasner. This country-rock album has more of an edge than Doug's first album, Nevada.
