Artist description
Finally, singer-songwriter John Doe has made his long-awaited acoustic album with guest vocalists on the album including Aimee Mann, Jakob Dylan (The Wallflowers), Jane Wiedlin (Go-Go’s), Juliana Hatfield, and Rhett Miller (Old 97’s).
“Every time I would release a solo record,” says Doe (one of the most influential figures in American alternative rock as leader of seminal L.A. punk band X), “people would ask, ‘Is it acoustic?’ I would look at the ground, look back at them and reply, ‘No...it’s a rock record with some quieter moments.’ Well, this time I can just say ‘Yes.’”
An intimate, even romantic album, Dim Stars, Bright Sky leans toward the singer-songwriter genre more than the alt-rock or alt-country Doe has usually been labeled over his previous four albums. “The misconception about my solo work is that it’s alt-country. I suppose this album is the closest to that incorrect idea but for me it’s more Elliott Smith than Gram Parsons.”
