Seattle musician Dean Johnson made a big splash in the Americana scene last year when he released his first album on his 50th birthday. His record "Nothing For Me, Please" turned many heads. He just dropped a fresh song called Blue Moon and announced he signed with Saddle Creek.
The new track belongs to Saddle Creek's Document series, a special project that pairs 7-inch records with zines. This marks the 20th release in that collection. Johnson also recorded Lucinda Williams' song Lake Charles as the B-side, which fans can hear this April.
Johnson shared thoughts about his latest creation: "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."
People can listen to Blue Moon right away through online music platforms. The combination of Johnson's late-career breakthrough and his signing with an established indie label suggests his musical journey has entered an exciting new chapter after decades of making music.
