8. Dying to Get Home (The Best of John Doe: This Far, 2014)

“A consistent body of rock and roll in the mode of Springsteen an Tom Petty has come together on this disc. Over and hour in length and not a weak cut makes for an excellent collection for the novice listener as well as a solid summation of Doe’s songs for fans. His warm deep voice works well on the ballads.”

7. Poor Girl (The Best of John Doe: This Far, 2014)

“An excellent collection. It is interesting to hear the direction that he has taken since X. It is more Knittersesque but still not the same. He always has really cool musicians playing with him and not unlike the x days, he still loves harmonizing with a female singer.”

6. Telephone By the Bed (The Best of John Doe: This Far, 2014)

“Great album!! Listening to this takes me back to nineteen eighty-one, listening to X on my record player, Rodney on the ROQ. Neko Case’s backup vocals are complimentary, great voice.”

5. Worried Brow (Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet, 2005)

“This is an exemplary record of the type I heard a lot of in the last couple years – Loaded with skillful playing, good words, decent tunes, and all of it ultimately forgettable. I don’t mean that to sound as harsh as it does – every time I played it I thought “Wow, this record’s pretty good” but later on it just didn’t stick.”

4. Take #52 (Meet John Doe, 1990)

“This is a great album. I just recently got turned on to John Doe’s solo work after nabbing a used cd off of this site. I’ve always been a fan of his voice with his work with X, but with his solo material, it’s even better.”

3. A Step Outside (For the Best of Us, 2006)

“If you like great harmonies in the vocals, sincere lyrics which are meaningful and thought provoking there is absolutely no way you can not appreciate this artist.”

2. Get on Board (The Westerner, 2016)

“I loved the country/rockabilly influence John Doe brought to X in the late “70’s and early “80’s. Later, I enjoyed his forays into acting. Here, he goes back to his music roots and creates a heart-felt contemporary collection. Nothing earth/genre-shattering, but make this the soundtrack of your next road trip – there’s a little something for everyone.”

1. The Golden State (A Year in the Wilderness, 2007)

“This is just about my all time favorite song. It features Cindy Wasserman who has a beautiful, beautiful voice. The harmonies in this folk song are so gorgeous. great lyrics and feeling. i love to turn up the volume on this mellow song to lull me into a happy and pleased state. if you like folk music, gaurentee you will like this song!”
