| | Pop Culture Press: John Doe |
 | | Both with X and as a solo performer, Doe has crafted honest, poignant songs that capture both the moment in time and the essential humanity imbedded in those moments. |
 | | The acoustic arrangements are a wonderful accompaniment to Doe’s mature tales of relationships of all kinds, and the harmony cameos by his friends—Aimee Mann, Jane Wiedlin, Juliana Hatfield, Rhett Miller and Jakob Dylan—add a very subtle touch of color to Doe’s heartfelt vocals. |
 | | We caught up with Doe on the road, taking a break from promoting Dim Stars, Bright Sky to once again play several shows with X. Even though his music may have mellowed over the years, Doe and his criticisms of the music industry remain true to their punk rock roots: straightforward, honest, pointed, his own. |
