Bloodshot Records is an independent record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Since its founding in 1993 by Nan Warshaw, Rob Miller, and Eric Babcock, the label has been a pioneer in roots-infused indie rock, punk rock, and alternative country music.

Over the years, Bloodshot Records has gained recognition for its diverse roster of talented artists and their unique sound. The label saw some changes with Babcock's departure in 1997 and Warshaw's exit in 2019. However, it continued to thrive until briefly closing its doors in 2021.

Fortunately, on October 23rd, 2021, Bloodshot Records was acquired by a new owner and made a triumphant return to the music scene. After lying dormant for some time, the label announced exciting plans for upcoming releases. One such release is from *Layng Martine Jr.*, set to debut in May 2023.

The Old 97's burst onto the alt-country scene in 1994 with their independently released debut, 'Hitchhike To Rhome'. With subsequent albums on Bloodshot, Elektra, New West, and ATO Records, the quartet became one of the Americana genre's most enduring bands.To celebrate this anniversary, Omnivore Recordings reissue 'Hitchhike', the band's first album, with an expanded release on 2-CD and - for the first time - on double LP. When band member and set co-producer Ken Bethea was revisiting the original tapes for this reissue, he discovered a treasure trove of eight extra tracks cut at the album sessions - many of which the band hadn't even remembered recording. It seemed the perfect time to bring those previously unissued songs to light and add the tracks from their first four-song demo cassette to round out the early picture of the 97's. CD - The 2-CD version of 'Hitchhike To Rhome' contains the original album, coupled with a second disc of those 12 rare and unreleased tracks, many mixed from the original multi-tracks for the first time by longtime Old 97's engineer Rip Rowan. LP - The double LP (limited edition first pressing on translucent orange vinyl) features the LP on three sides with six of the recently unearthed tracks on Side 4. The download card included gives the buyer the complete 2-CD program. Both formats include rare photos, memorabilia and notes from Bethea.The entire album has been remixed from original session tapes by Rip Rowan. From the Too Far To Care reissue complete with demos (also available separately on vinyl as They Made A Monster), to the band's sessions with the great Waylon Jennings, Omnivore continues to add to the Old 97's legacy with this integral, early part of their history and catalog.
