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, he beat his addiction and started touring as a solo artist. He drove around the country in a rental car, covering 9000 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-Rs in plain white sleeves — a record that he had recorded for, and which was rejected by, Warner Brothers in 1996.[1] Heroin ((INN) Diacetylmorphine, (BAN) diamorphine) is a semi-synthetic opioid. ...

At the Bonnaroo music festival in 2004, Doughty and Dave Matthews — a longtime Soul Coughing supporter, who had the band open for him on two US tours, including shows at Madison Square Garden — bumped into each other. Matthews professed to be a fan of Doughty's solo record Rockity Roll, in particular the song "27 Jennifers," so Doughty gave him a CD of rough mixes of an album he had been working on in Minneapolis with former Semisonic singer Dan Wilson. This album was to become Haughty Melodic, which Matthews released on his ATO label. ...
