Press — Black Mesa Records

We've recently updated the site to a new, lighter color scheme. We've also gone through and fixed some little glitches that have been bothering us for a while. While we were at it, we decided to re-vamp how we present our artist's pages. Formerly, when you navigated to one of our artist's pages, you were presented an excerpt from their bio, and then a product listing. Now, we show you the full bio, along with a list of recent press articles, and links to products. We hope that you can learn a little more about our artists this way and...

We've been getting some great press from Coyote. Here's what Wide Open Country had to say: "Abney’s brand of Americana isn’t deeply rooted in country tinged crooners or twang. Rather, Abney's delievers soft and elegant moments reminiscent of Beck’s Sea Change, Ryan Adams‘ 29 and Elliott Smith’s Either/Or."

We're thrilled to announce John Calvin Abney's 3rd LP is being released on Black Mesa Records on May 18, 2018! We've been fans of John for a long time and couldn't be more excited to support him on this record.  You can pre-order the record now on baby pink 180 gram vinyl (while supplies last), 180 gram black vinyl, or on compact disc.  Some press about the record (updating): Glide Magazine: "The slowburning tune feels reflective and hopeful both in its lyrics and musical composition."  One Chord To Another: "Sounds marvelous..." Country Fried Rock: "...Coyote is a gem."

We're happy to provide free shipping, worldwide, on orders over $50.  We realize that shipping is expensive, especially when ordering internationally. We're happy to cover those costs, when you spent $50 or more with us.
