In 2023, Seattle's Dean Johnson shared his debut album Nothing For Me, Please on his 50th birthday and became an Americana darling. Today, he's sharing his new song "Blue Moon" and announcing his signing to Saddle Creek.
"Blue Moon" is for the 20th installment of Saddle Creek's Document series, the label's project of 7" releases that come with a zine. For his B-side, Johnson covered Lucinda Williams' “Lake Charles,” which will be out in April.
About "Blue Moon," John says, "Did you ever lie in bed listening for a sound down the street? A whistle, a coo, the approach of someone’s feet? This song is ultimately an ode to bedroom windows; to climbing out of them late at night."
