Reviews

John Doe: The Last Amateur (One Hour Photo)

By Andrew Martin

The Last Amateur is even more proof that Doe is one of the genre's best. [7 May 2008]

John Doe: A Year in the Wilderness

By Jennifer Kelly

Ex-X front man is in rugged, flame-throwing form, and the guest list -- Kathleen Edwards, Dave Alvin, Aimee Mann, Jill Sobule -- is stellar... This may be the best Doe solo album yet. [22 June 2007]

John Doe: For The Best Of Us

By Stephen Haag

Doe splits the difference between punk and roots on this 1998 EP re-issue. [27 July 2006]

John Doe: Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet

By Zeth Lundy

Former X-man delivers a homebrewed distillation of old scratchy blues, country-folk, and noir, heavily annotated in mortality -- one could say that Doe is priming himself for a watershed Time out of Mind-caliber record any day now. [21 April 2005]

John Doe: Dim Stars, Bright Sky
