Out of My Way is the solo debut album by the American musician Peter Holsapple, released in 1997 on the New Orleans label Monkey Hill. The personnel includes keyboardist Benmont Tench and Holsapple's fellow Continental Drifters Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill.

Critical reception

Billboard deemed the album "a delightfully varied and distinctively played work that combines the rootsy elements of the Continental Drifters' sound with the pop-rock influences that have served Holsapple well throughout his career." Stereo Review concluded: "Sometimes cranky, sometimes despairing, and always doggedly hopeful, Out of My Way is some of the most tuneful catharsis around."

AllMusic's editors gave the album four out of five stars, praising wordplay in the lyrics and the bass guitar instrumentation.
