about

After a handful of middling releases for the Sovereign label in the late '50s and early '60s, Deafman returned to his blues roots with a new record on the Chicago label. As British blues artists began to discover his earlier recordings, Deafman was encouraged to revisit the studio with a new backing band. The resulting long-play album, BLIND WILLIE AND FRIENDS, featured the rhythm section of the British blues band Velvet Armour and a number of Deafman's contemporaries, including Little Guitar Junior (who is featured on this track).

lyrics

We've got no room on the rack, so throw your coat down on the pile.
There’s no room on the rack, so throw your coat down on the pile.
Yeah, we joke around all day long, but when night time comes, we joke around some more.

Just throw your coat on the pile and get yourself out in the hall.
Just throw your coat on the pile, and get yourself out in the hall.
Yeah, when we all get together, there’s a party going on.

Just throw your coat on the pile and get yourself out in the hall.
Just throw your coat on the pile, and get yourself out in the hall.
Yeah, we joke around all day long, but when night time comes, we joke around some more.

We've got no room on the rack, so throw your coat down on the pile.
There’s no room on the rack, so throw your coat down on the pile.
Yeah, when we all get together, there’s a party going on.

Extended Play
by Chris Oliver

This is the latest release by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Oliver. EXTENDED PLAY is a great cross section of power pop and psychedelia. Start with "Marsh" and see if you ever stop listening. HVL

On My Way Out
by Sails

Sails are a delightful band from Berwyn. Check out "The Forecast" or the title track from ON MY WAY OUT for a neat blast of retro nostalgia and tidy, clever songwriting. HVL

Soul Sister
by ILLUMNTR

I fell in love with the track "You are Overgown" when Bryn Austin Bellomy submitted it as part of National Solo Album Month in 2010. Since then, his Brooklyn-based group ILLUMNTR has really taken off. HVL
