Description:

Folk-DebÃ¼t des X-Punk-Pioniers mit Features von u.a. Terry Allen, Louie Perez von Los Lobos und X-Bandkollegen Exene Cervenka und Shirley Manson (Garbage). Punkrock-Pionier mit der Band X, Songwriter, Dichter, Schauspieler, SolokÃ¼nstler, Autor ... Folk-Musiker. Mit â??Fables in a Foreign Landâ??, der DebÃ¼tverÃ¶ffentlichung des The John Doe Folk Trio, spielen seine Geschichten nun in der vorindustriellen Ã?ra. Und obwohl viele der 13 Songs in den letzten drei Jahren geschrieben wurden, entstand der Sound in lockeren wÃ¶chentlichen Hinterhof-Jams auf der Terrasse von Kevin Smith, bekannt von Willie Nelson and Family. â??Ich denke, â??Fables in a Foreign Landâ?? ist meine Version von Folk. Es begann damit, dass ich die Musiker satt hatte, die zu viel spielen und Songs orchestrieren oder arrangieren mussten. â??Was wÃ¤re, wenn es nur weniger wÃ¤re?â?? Jeder sagt, weniger ist mehr, aber was das bedeutet, musst du selbst herausfinden. Ich bin nicht tief in die Folk-Musik eingetaucht und habe mich nicht mit dem beschÃ¤ftigt, was â??traditionellâ?? ist, es war nur ein Ergebnis des Versuchs, die Songs auf das Wesentliche zu reduzieren.â?? Zu den Singles gehÃ¶ren BeitrÃ¤ge von Outsider-Country-Held Terry Allen bei â??Never Coming Backâ??, Louie Perez von Los Lobos bei â??El Romance-Oâ?? und X-Bandkollegen Exene Cervenka und Shirley Manson (Garbage) bei â??Destroying Angelsâ??. - .. FOREIGN LAND

2022 release. Punk rock pioneer with X, songwriter, poet, actor, solo artist, published author... folk musician. With Fables in a Foreign Land, the debut release from The John Doe Folk Trio, his tales are now set in the pre-Industrial Era. And though many of the 13 songs were written over the last three years, the sound was born in loose weekly backyard jams on Kevin Smith's (Willie Nelson and Family) patio. "I guess 'Fables in a Foreign Land' is my version of folk music. It started by being sick of musicians that play too much and having to orchestrate or arrange songs. 'What if it was just less?' Everyone says less is more, but you have to figure out for yourself what that means. I didn't do a deep dive into folk music and concern myself with what was 'traditional,' it was just an outgrowth of trying to strip the songs down to the basics." Singles include contributions from outsider country polymath Terry Allen on "Never Coming Back," Los Lobos' Louie Perez on "El Romance-O," and fellow X bandmate Exene Cervenka and Shirley Manson (Garbage) on "Destroying Angels."
