For the past decade, John Calvin Abney has made a name for himself as a solo artist and sought-after sideman. He’s toured as lead guitarist for fellow Oklahoman John Moreland, recording with him on his last two acclaimed albums, and in between, the prolific Abney found time to add another impressive record to his own catalog (2016’s Far Cries And Close Calls), supporting the release with a run of solo shows during a whirlwind year filled with as much struggle as success. Abney’s new full-length, Coyote (out May 18 on Black Mesa Records), draws from this tumultuous time, fearlessly staring down distance, isolation and fading love, as well as loss, fear and disassociation from the self.
Abney has recorded a personal album of reflections on change and realization, titled “Coyote,” at Fellowship Hall Sound in Little Rock. He performed many of the instruments, while calling in friends Shonna Tucker on bass, Paddy Ryan on drums, and Megan Palmer on violin and keys. The album will be released in May 2018 and is the anticipated follow-up to Abney’s 2016 LP, “Far Cries and Close Calls,” a single from which PopMatters.com called “instantly memorable” and that drew rightful comparisons to longtime influence Elliott Smith.
“Coyote” has a distinct sense of place, of loneliness and love. The album is spacious and steady, and it comes at the heels of Abney taking a much-needed breath to process those experiences, a journey listeners can hear in real time.
The record opens with the twinkling standout “Always Enough,” establishing the theme of wincing optimism that carries through the rest of “Coyote.” “My blood was red, but I worried it black / Plans to ashes, promises to dust,” he sings, before resolving with, “There’s nowhere to go but up from here.” The rest of side A meanders with Abney: “Cowboys and Canyon Queens” has him looking back at Oklahoma—and all the gravity that entails—while the lazy shuffle “Get Your House in Order” has a humorous bent, eyeing the similarities between Abney and his travel-weary friends.
Twenty-five years ago, World Music Network released its first compilation, the inaugural Rough Guide to World Music. A quarter of a century, and 369 Rough Guides later, World Music Network founder, Creative Director and Head Selector Phil Stanton has thumbed through the archives to put together this special anniversary edition.
The pre-cursor to World Music Network was Phil’s first imprint, Riverboat Records, founded in 1989. At that time Phil was living on a leaky barge somewhere along London’s Grand Union Canal, hence the name which stuck. This Rough Guide is compiled purely from Riverboat Records releases. With tracks from all over the world featured, this album is testament to Phil and the team’s commitment to releasing lesser-known…
…artists from places often under-represented in the Western market. Over the year’s Phil’s company at large has come to be known as World Music Network, with both Riverboat and the Rough Guide’s compilations housed under its roof.
In line with the label ethos, this album promotes deeper understanding of musical traditions and global cultures, perfectly demonstrated by the meditative album opener ‘Sunno’ by Rafiki Jazz, a band with members who span four different continents. Their music includes some of the world’s most distinctive folk instruments including the West African kora, Caribbean steelpan, Indian tabla, Brazilian berimbau and Arabic ney. Likewise, the truly international ensemble Alba Griot’s sound combines Celtic (Scottish) and Mandique (Malian) traditions with blues, jazz and close harmony vocals.
Despite the changing face of the music industry and the difficulties faced by record labels, World Music Network remain committed to releasing lesser-known music that deserves to be heard, and this seamless collection underlines both the Rough Guide’s status as the number one compilation label and the incredible talent that World Music Network continues to bring to the fore. From the virtuoso musicianship of Calcutta’s guitar master Debashish Bhattacharya and Palestinian buzuq player Ramzi Aburedwan to the irresistibly danceable grooves of Klezmer-Balkan band She’Koyokh and Chinese folk rockers Shanren, this is a jaw-dropping selection, and a fitting 25th anniversary edition. – worldmusic.net
