Out My Way is an EP by the alternative rock band the Meat Puppets, released in 1986. [7] [8] It features a more hard rock-oriented sound than on previous releases, leading some critics to say that the sound is similar to the southern/hard rock stylings of ZZ Top. The EP was reissued in 1999 by Rykodisc, with additional bonus tracks.
The cover art is by Curt Kirkwood. [9] The EP was issued while Curt recovered from a broken finger. [10]
AllMusic wrote that "the EP showed that the Puppets were moving on from their early punk sound to a more traditional rock direction." [3] Robert Christgau called the EP "a departure, toward a less spacy, more bottomy hardcore-gone-folkloric." [4] Trouser Press praised "an utterly crazed raveup of 'Good Golly Miss Molly,'” writing that it "merely caps off a diverse collection of occasionally funky, occasionally psychedelic, occasionally countryfied rock tunes." [11]
All songs written by Curt Kirkwood, unless otherwise noted.
