Background

[edit]

On Coyote, LeBlanc takes on an adventure with Coyote, "a demon-haunted man on the run". Partly autobiographical and a concept album, the album tells the story of a man who lives a dangerous life and is always on the edge.[1] Coyote finds himself caught up in the criminal underworld of Mexico and struggles to find a way out. But just as he does, Coyote gets haunted by his past and a wasted life. Finally greeted by "redemption and freedom", he has to face the "essence of human nature, materialism" and a craving for more.[2]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album received an average score of 84 based on five reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[3] According to Steve Horowitz of PopMatters, LeBlanc understood what it takes "to live in the modern world" by depicting "what exists" rather "than judging it".[7] American Songwriter's Lee Zimmerman called it his "most ambitious effort yet", showcasing a project "filled with suspenseful circumstance".[4]

Tim Coffman at Far Out saw the album as a throwback "to the days of the old-school outlaws" with LeBlanc "willing to expand on" what the likes of "[Johnny] Cash and [Willie] Nelson" did. While Coffman opines that he runs "empty on some of this album", he is not willing "to give up on that dream".[5]
