Hootie & The Blowfish - Scattered, Smothered, and Covered (Rocktober 2026, 2LP Vinyl)

Scattered, Smothered and Covered showcases Hootie & the Blowfish's love for reinterpretation, with covers ranging from “I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love with You” by Tom Waits and “Hey Hey What Can I Do” by Led Zeppelin to “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” by The Smiths, and R.E.M.’s “Driver 8,” proving Hootie’s influences were as varied as their sound was accessible on this rarities and B-sides collection. Their excellent 54-40 cover of “I Go Blind” that appeared on the Friends soundtrack also makes an appearance on this collection. 2LP set with a Side D etching.
