Thank goodness we all don’t like the same thing, Juli. Although I’m not a great fan of country music,I could listen to this album all day, especially …NIGHT LIFE & TIL I GET IT RIGHT!!!

“loaded to the gills with Quaaludes and cough syrup” That’s a great line. I must disagree with Juli because “Night Life” is my favorite track on the album. I love the arrangement, Doe’s vocal is all emotion and the guitar lead is creepy goodness.

Is this some kind weird anti-cursing country site? John Doe was a pioneer in the LA Punk Scene. What do you expect.
PS What’s wrong with Obama Rick? Wait I already know what you’re going to say.

Nice review but “JOHNNY RAY BARTELL “Played bass in the Knitters, John Doe and Dave Alvin were the pickers! Other than that fine review for a fine album!!!!!!

I listened to the album on the J. Doe Myspace area.

I mostly agree with your comments. . .

J. Doe has a gritty vocal character that suits the
material, although he’s not the greatest vocalist in
the world. The musicianship over all is top notch.

I appreciate the fact that someone is attempting to
do “real” country, as opposed to the horrible pablum which is puked onto the public by the CME (Country Music Establishment).

Cheers,

I love this release. My only beef with it is that I wish the Kathleen Edwards parts had been handled by Doe’s longtime X/Knitters partner Exene Cervenka. Edwards voice is not so different, and in many ways less interesting, than Exene’s.

Chris, I’m generally averse to foul language unless its being used in connection with Obama’s name….

I didn’t realize Rick had such delicate sensibilities.
