As one of the founding members of the Los Angeles punk band X, John Doe was one of the most influential figures in American alternative rock during the early '80s. Doe’s new solo album, The Westerner, is his self-proclaimed “psychedelic soul record from the Arizona desert.” The record features ten new tracks with guest appearances from Chan Marshall of Cat Power, Debbie Harry of Blondie, Cindy Wasserman of Dead Rock West and Tom Brosseau.
