Ernie November

having a store like ernie’s in Cheyenne when I was discovering my musical tastes as an impressionable young man had a ridiculously profound impact on my life as well as many of my friends. whether I had the fortune of dealing with Keith or one of my personal buddies whom Keith had employed or even a relative stranger behind the counter I have never had a bad experience in that shop.
through the years I’ve found old records that I needed to reinstall into my collection and I’ve taken many a gamble on bands and albums I had never heard of thanks to a staff suggestion– they’ve never let me down. I have numerous memories of attending shows of touring bands and local groups alike and have even had the great pleasure of performing a few of those gigs myself.
while Cheyenne officials pay little real attention to their dwindling downtown area Ernie November stands tall as one of the city’s most popular stores (in spite of a few censorship attempts from former mayor mccheese) simply because they do business the right way.
I haven’t lived in Cheyenne for many many years but I make a point to visit the shop and make whatever purchase I can and enjoy a few moments with Keith or whomever happens to be working because it is always a highlight of my trip. there are no places like ernie’s in Cheyenne and thankfully so. there are few places so welcoming and unique in the United states. but I can honestly say that my life is better because I wandered in as a bewildered teenager with an open mind. do yourself a favor and SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS TODAY!!!
THANK YOU KEITH and all who make ernie’s an oasis among a barren deserted hole

Great Record sore in the heart of downtown Cheyenne! My husband and I are familiar with the location in South Dakota so I freaked a little when I happened upon this location (not knowing it was there).
The guy working (The owner I believe) was super friendly and helped me pick out a local band to bring back home (a tradition when I travel). The store had a great selection of local, regional, national, and international music.
They also had skateboards and other cool items. A definite stop in when you are in the area!

Recently I was in here and was looking at their DVD’s. I must say I am impressed! They had a few cult films for sale! They even had Cannibal Holocaust! I must say I am impressed!

We stopped by here on a roadtrip through Cheyenne. They were playing Can’s ‘Tago Mago’ as I browsed through a limited selection of new vinyl. They’ve got a decent amount of used vinyl, considering its Cheyenne, but the used titles that they have are fairly common. Mostly 60’s, 70’s, 80’s classic rock.
I picked up a Captain Beefheart reissue on vinyl and some early 90’s cassettes for a buck a piece: Seaweed, Superchunk & Juliana Hatfield. The guy behind the counter was friendly… Recommended.

Ernies is the only place to go in Cheyenne if you want that local indie music shop feel. I wouldn’t exactly call it a record shop, as the selection of used records is quite small, and new record selection is smaller still. But, if you’re looking for a new/​used CD this is the place for you. The staff is very knowledgeable & friendly. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll be more than happy to order a copy of it in for you. Ernie November also has clothing, jewelry, posters, movies, candles, incense, and more. They cater mostly to a young crowd, but I’m sure older folks in search of a hard to find album could also make use of their services!

Dude — Charles Mingus for $ 8? Are you kidding? I didnt even know folks in Wyoming listened to jazz, maybe they dont, thats why it was so cheap!
They also ship if you are looking for something and cant get to the store — its doesnt get any better than that!
Next time I am in town, I am definitely coming back!

What a cool little record store! Ernie November looks like a store that you would find in San Francisco. But it is located right in the middle of Cowboy country. They have a great selection of new, used and discount CD’s. They also offer some pretty cool T-​shirts and other Rock, Punk, and Country Music memorabilia as well.
I ended up purchasing a couple of discount CD’s and Carolynne r. found an awesome Jazz compilation CD that she loved.
One of the funniest things about Ernie November is that they take pictures of all of the shop lifters who get arrested at the store and post them on the wall. They even have a mug shot of some former MTV host that I never heard of who tried to take the olé five finger discount.
Who knows if I will ever be in Cheyenne again, but if I do, I will be sure to stop back into Ernie November and pick up some driving music for the long, road home.
