"We call this one a barn burner," shared Tejon front man, Connor O'Neal. His band, Colorado Springs-based outlaw alt-folk group Tejon Street Corner Thieves have released their unique energetic
take on the bluegrass classic "Greasy Coat". The track is the latest single released from their upcoming new album Stolen Goods,
which is set for a May 7th release through Liars Club/Regime Music Group.

"There’s been a lot of skepticism about this song's original meaning but we’ve actually combined two songs here; Greasy Coat and Cluck Old Hen," commented Connor O’Neal. "We live for live shows and they tend to get rowdy, so we approached this one with the same kind of fast energy we have during our live show."

Stolen Goods is a 10-track collection of classic traditional
Americana, folk, and bluegrass covers that pays homage to the forefathers of the genre who laid the groundwork for what would become the roots of modern folk. Recorded at Royal Recordings in Colorado Springs with producer Bill Douglass, the songs on Stolen Goods have become a staple of Tejon Street Corner Thieves set dating back to their early days busking the streets for pocket change.

When it came time to assemble the visual album artwork, Tejon Street Corner Thieves were blessed with an original illustration by artist Jim Evans, also known as TAZ the “Rock Poster God.” TAZ has illustrated and designed some of the most iconic rock posters for everyone from Neil Young, the Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and more.

LYRICS:
I don’t drink, I don’t smoke
I don’t wear no greasy coat
I don’t cuss, I don’t chew
I don’t like them boys in blue

Cluck old hen, good old hen
Lays enough eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes five, sometimes ten
Lays enough eggs for the railroad men

Tell the preacher, tell the pope
I don’t wear no greasy coat
I don’t need no reason why
I ain’t going to heaven honey
When I die

Well I don’t drink, I don’t smoke
I don’t wear no greasy coat
I don’t kiss, I don’t tell
All you sinners are going to hell

Obviously, this song is about Trailor Park Boys.

This song is about abstinence, the "Greasy Coat" is obviously a Tejon Street Corner Thieves-inspired condom ribbed on the inside for self-pleasure.

Obviously about a quick order chef just trying to get through the day, un-splattered.

OH MY GOD WAIT I FIGURED IT OUT. This song is obviously about Colonel Sanders. Yes the KFC guy. "I don't wear no greasy coat." he always had on a white coat. No grease stains from the fryer.

I think it may be about some weirdness with pierced nipples and belly button lint but whatever...
