John Garcia to Release Acoustic Album The Coyote Who Spoke in Tongues in January
John Garcia, frontman of Kyuss, Vista Chino, Slo Burn, Unida, Hermano, etc., will release his first-ever acoustic solo album, The Coyote Who Spoke in Tongues, on Jan. 27, 2017, through Napalm Records. How far back does this project go? Well, the first time John Garcia was heard doing acoustic solo material was in 1998, with the song “To Believe” that was featured at the very end of the Welcome to MeteorCity compilation — he used the moniker J.M.J., but his voice is unmistakable — so it’s been at least 18 years in the making, and honestly, probably longer than that. About a week ago, Garcia posted on Thee Facebooks that a release was imminent, but didn’t say much about the circumstances or the timing, both of which we now know thanks to the PR wire.
The tracklisting will consist of Kyuss tracks as well as some originals, and you’ll find it after the cover art and recording info below, which just hit the inbox:
