I used to hear coyotes wail and yip every night as I fell asleep on my two hundred acre purchase of scrub timber in eastern Kansas. It was music to my ears. Only after I had signed on the dotted line and did I hear that the real nickname for this place was Rattlesnake Hill. It was a well deserved title as one evening I nearly tripped over one as big around as a large softball bat. I was immediately tempted to call my musical efforts Rattlesnake Records, but rattlers don't sing too well and coyotes do, and so the rest is, as they say, history...

Yippeecoyote Records became an officially established independent record producer in about 1999.
