John Doe is back again. As a founding member of punk monoliths X, he seized his rightful place as one of the most influential musicians in American alternative music in the 1980s, clearing a path for the revolution in that genre that would take place a decade later. Since launching his solo career in 1990 with the dusty road-poetry of MEET JOHN DOE, John has produced six stunning roots tock albums of frightening honesty and vision. A YEAR IN THE WILDERNESS is no exception. Guest stars appearing on a YEAR IN THE WILDERNESS include Dave Alvin, Jill Sobule, Kathleen Edwards, Dan Auerbach, Greg Leisz and Aimee Mann.
