OUT OF STATE PLATES (REMASTERED)

Remastered by David Barbe with two additional tracks.
Recorded 25 years ago and released on September 5, 1999, OOSP captures the promise of the young band coming into their own and includes songs that have become Southern anthems and are still included in set lists today. In addition to Bloodkin co-founders Daniel Hutchens and Eric Carter, the musicians include guest artists Michael Houser, John Hermann, and Todd Nance of Widespread Panic and Moe Tucker of Velvet Underground and Dave Blackmon.
The re-issue includes the bonus tracks "Morning Chrome" and "Sing About Love", recorded during the 1997-98 OOSP recording sessions at Chase Park Transduction in Athens GA.

"Wet Trombone Blues" was the first song co-written by Hutchens
and Carter, penned while still in high school. The song has stayed in their live show set list over the years and has been covered by Widespread Panic. "Who Do You Belong To" is another song that has become part of Widespread's repertoire and is beloved by their fans.
"Out of State Plates was Bloodkin's best album to date when it came out, full of humid,
unmistakably Southern anthems like "Never In Vain," "Lifer" and "Tennessee Williams"-songs as literate and original as they were thunderous and down-home." - Paste Magazine
