Catholic Boy is the debut album released on January 3, 1980, by The Jim Carroll Band, led by Jim Carroll, who is notable for publishing the 1978 memoir The Basketball Diaries, and poetry collections including Living at the Movies. They were able to secure a recording contract with Atlantic Records with the support of the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards. The album included the group's most well-known song, "People Who Died", which is a catalogue of young people Carroll knew growing up who met tragic ends.
