Fables In A Foreign Land

John Doe, known as a punk pioneer with X and a versatile songwriter, presents Fables in a Foreign Land as the debut release from The John Doe Folk Trio. Set in a pre-Industrial era, the album narrows its focus to intimate, narrative folk with spare arrangements that let the songs breathe. The record features guest contributions from Terry Allen, Louie Pérez, Exene Cervenka, and Shirley Manson on select tracks. Released in 2022 by Fat Possum Records, this album marks Doe’s continuing evolution from punk icon to a storytelling folk artist.
