Bloodletting is the third album from alternative rock band Concrete Blonde, shifting more towards gothic rock. R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Wall of Voodoo's Andy Prieboy make guest appearances.[2] "Joey" was the band's biggest hit, reaching number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and the top 20 of the pop charts.
On July 13, 2010, Shout! Factory released the 20th anniversary edition of Bloodletting, which features six bonus tracks: "I Want You," "Little Wing," the French extended version of "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)," and live versions of "Roses Grow," "The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden," and "Tomorrow, Wendy."
