The cover art provided a clue to the nature of the Bloodsucker Blues album in the form of an oil painting of two genetically damaged naked men and a crocodile being strangled. This was recorded as a hodge-podge; some self produced 4 track recordings, a good dose of songs recorded to tape in Providence by Pete Donnelly (of The Figgs) and a couple tunes captured in Cambridge by Paul Bryan. Stylistically all over the place, it was lyrically focused on blood-sucking beasts and Orson Welles, who was himself a bit of an expert in that field.
