1975 John Hiatt – Overcoats
Overcoats is singer-songwriter John Hiatt‘s second album, released in 1975 by Epic Records. Like his debut album, this album was also produced by Glen Spreen. The album failed to sell much copies, and thus Epic Records released Hiatt from his contract. He would spend the next four years without a recording contract.
