John Wesley Harding‘s new album, The Sound of His Own Voice comes out October 11. Check out the first video above. I swear this is not some sort of viral ad campaign by the coffee company.
His touring band contains a bunch of DW favorites including John Moen, Chris Funk, Jenny Conlee-Drizos and Nate Query, all members of The Decemberists, Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey (Thee Minus Five, The Baseball Project).
