John King Cave - Oh My Love (2020)

Oh My Love is my country western romance. It's an ode to Love, to having and holding as much as to longing and leaving. The music and lyrics are soulful and swift as they dance and spin through warm melodies. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes elusive, such is Love.

From as early as 2013 and as late as the summer of 2019, I’ve compiled my complicated relationship with Love as my first studio album, Oh My Love. Wooed into being, I played the first beginnings of Oh My Love in a humid third floor suite in Pensacola, Florida for my bandmates to practice. The album was further fleshed out over the course of three live sessions in the the fall of 2019. All of the final takes used came from the third and last of those sessions, frantically recorded the morning of November 10, 2019.

2020 felt the blow of a shadow in the form of some idiot airborne virus. The fragile Albuquerque music scene caught a strong case and lost much of its breath. Although my country western romance only lasted "just for a moment", I'd like to think this album breathes life as our world did before the age of the masks.

With a gasp of triumph, I am pleased to proclaim the release of Oh My Love. If you so wish to preorder the album, you will be pleasantly gifted the Pensacola Hotel Session as well as a few key rehearsal takes that didn’t quite make the cut. I will also personally and exclusively be hand-drawing T-Shirts for all who so wish to pre-order one. Anyway, see ya' round next time partner — maybe next winter at the country western bar.

With love XOXO,
John King Cave
