The Signpost label was distributed by Atlantic, then later by MCA. The biggest success for the label
was Danny O'Keefe, a singer/guitarist/songwriter from Spokane, Washington. He registered a huge hit in
1972 with "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues." Almost overlooked on his first album is a melancholy
look at life as a touring musician called "The Road," a song which Jackson Browne did a few years later
on his Running on Empty album. It stands the test of time as one of the best "Road Songs" ever
written.
The Signpost label was black with silver printing. "SIGNPOST" in white above the center hole, above
this is a yellow block with a red "S".
