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.

Critical reception


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]
