Big Name, No Blankets

Big Name, No Blankets is the debut studio album by Australian band, Warumpi Band. It was released in 1985.
In 2011, Neil Murray explained the title of the album saying they were playing in Halls Creek in 1984 and their single "Jailangaru Parkanu " had played on Countdown. Locals saw it and said "You must be rich you blokes" to which lead singer, Kumunjay said, "no we only got big name, no blankets".
The cover art was of the band in 1982 touring through the Tanami Desert.

Reception

In a retrospective review in 2007, Double J said "their debut captures a rollicking desert rock band in electrifying form. Its raw energy ensured it stood out sonically from much else on offer in the early-80s. The fact that it featured songs sung in English, Luritja and Gumatj, telling stories of contemporary Aboriginal issues, makes it a significant document."
