the album's called country club; it's good but not great--a bit too reverent for my tastes, not really the harder edged thing i was expecting. i prefer the sadies own stuff--they're a very tight guitar band. most of doe's solo work is also worth checking out, although nothing will ever touch his original band, x--their first three albums are classic, though scarcely npr material.
anyone know John Doe and the Sadies?
i was just listening to NPR on my way home from work and heard Terry Gross interviewing John Doe regarding a new country album he and his band have done called "country classics". He describes it as "rough and tumble country with an edge". He was playing live in the studio and it was most intriguing. HIs voice puts me in mind of Bruce Cockburn on certain phrases. Anyone know this album?
