Out of My Way is the solo debut album by the American musician Peter Holsapple, released in 1997 on the New Orleans label Monkey Hill.[2] The personnel includes keyboardist Benmont Tench and Holsapple's fellow Continental Drifters Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill.[3]
Billboard deemed the album "a delightfully varied and distinctively played work that combines the rootsy elements of the Continental Drifters' sound with the pop-rock influences that have served Holsapple well throughout his career."[4] Stereo Review concluded: "Sometimes cranky, sometimes despairing, and always doggedly hopeful, Out of My Way is some of the most tuneful catharsis around."[5]
AllMusic's editors gave the album four out of five stars, praising wordplay in the lyrics and the bass guitar instrumentation.[1]
