You may not have heard of John Calvin Abney but there’s a good chance you’ve heardhim. He’s been John Moreland‘s loyal sideman on Moreland’s last few tours. If you read the credits on Chris Porter‘s stellar posthumously released album Don’t Go Baby, It’s Gonna Get Weird Without You, you’ve likely wondered if there’s an instrument Abney doesn’t play. Abney’s musicianship is the foreground for Coyote, an expansive album that draws on the guitar-slinger’s road fatigue. Abney’s previous album, Far Cries and Close Calls, was a promising start that leaned heavily on Dylan as an influence. This time around, Coyote, shows John Calvin Abney owning his voice.
