Our Take

Prepare yourself for a whimsical journey through the sonic landscapes of John Calvin Abney's latest album, "Familiar Ground." This Oklahoma troubadour delivers a delightful blend of folk, pop, and indie rock that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in approval.

Abney's songwriting shines on tracks like "Get Your House in Order" and "Turn Again." His lyrics are introspective, yet witty, offering insight into the human experience with a touch of dry humour. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with lush arrangements that elevate each song to new heights.

One standout track is the dreamy "Blue Ribbon," which showcases Abney's ability to craft a hook that sticks in your head long after the song has ended. The jangly guitars and ethereal harmonies create a sense of nostalgia that is both comforting and invigorating.

Overall, "Familiar Ground" is a captivating listen that will appeal to fans of artists like Wilco and Fleet Foxes. Abney's unique blend of Americana and indie sensibilities sets him apart from his contemporaries, making this album a must-listen for music lovers of all stripes. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let John Calvin Abney serenade you with his infectious melodies. You won't be disappointed.
