John Doe at Amoeba Records. I saw this in-store performance the other night -- the first time I've ever seen him solo. He and his band did a sweet little set, and I'm now totally over the moon for the song "Golden State" off his
new album -- I think I've listened to it a couple dozen times since Tuesday night.
(To hear it it in its entirely rather than just a sample, go visit the album page, click the blue "A Year in the Wilderness" box in the middle column.)
