While No One Was Looking: Toasting 20 Years of Bloodshot Records

Editors’ Notes Chicago’s Bloodshot Records, the creation of Nan Warshaw and Rob Miller, has spent 20 years issuing records by musicians that many people know—Ryan Adams, The Old 97’s, Alejandro Escovedo, Neko Case—and others who remain cult artists to much smaller cults—The Meat Purveyors, Mark Pickerel & His Praying Hands. To celebrate this devotion to interesting and challenging music, this 38-track collection features outstanding artists paying tribute to the songs and artists who made the first 20 years a revelation. Artists such as Mike Watt & The Missingmen, Limbeck, The Handsome Family, Ted Leo, Into It. Over It., The Minus 5, and Chuck Prophet make this a landmark recording.
