Kissingsohard is an album by the American musician John Doe, credited to the John Doe Thing.[2][3] It was released in 1995.[4] Doe promoted the album by touring with Juliana Hatfield, and then with Shane MacGowan.[5][6]
The album was produced by Don Gilmore and Doe.[7][8] Doe desired to make an album in an alternative rock style, in contrast to country sound of his solo debut.[9] He considered many of the songs to be of a more personal nature, compared to the ones he wrote in X.[10]
"My Goodness" and "Love Knows" were cowritten with Exene Cervenka.[11] Brad Houser, Chalo Quintana, Smokey Hormel, and Joey Waronker played on Kissingsohard; Sandra Bernhard and Cervenka contributed vocals.[12][13][14] "Willamette" was inspired by the lives of homeless people in Portland, Oregon.[15] Doe considered adding a cover of "Vigilante Man" to the album.[16]
