Someday Cowboy is the second studio album by Canadian indie rock band Baby Jey, released in September 2018 by Maintenance Records.[3][4][5][6]
Background
Despite the fact that Baby Jey was founded in Canada, Someday Cowboy charted higher on American radio stations than it did on Canadian stations. The album hit #1 on KJHK in Kansas, but its peak position in Canada was #7 on CHRW-FM.[7][8] On the NACC Top 200, Someday Cowboy peaked at #95.[9]
Someday Cowboy was recorded in two days in the childhood home of lead singer Jeremy Witten.[10][11] The album's lead single, "Someday My Space Cowboy Will Come," was released on 27 July 2018 and premiered by Indie88.[12] "U Don't Have 2 Go Alone," the album's second single, was premiered by Earmilk on 24 August 2018.[13][14]
On 20 December 2018, Baby Jey premiered "Every Thing," the album's third single and accompanying music video, via Exclaim Magazine.[15]
Reception
In Vue Weekly, Jeff MacCallum distinguished the album from Baby Jey's previous release Best Wishes, stating that "the nine songs delivered on this outing work together to make a cohesive listen which was lacking on their debut."[4] Writing for the magazine BeatRoute, Kennedy Pawluk focused more specifically on the musical styles featured on the album, calling it "a light-hearted pop record at its core [that] shares a twang reminiscent of golden era country greats."[16] Obscure Sound wrote that on Someday Cowboy, Witten's songwriting "showcases a nostalgia within the lyrics."[17] The Deli Magazine called the album "charming and odd yet accessible."[18]
