Outta Season is a blues album and contains Ike & Tina’s signature live song I’ve Been Loving You Too Long, which was also a single the same year. The album was originally released in 1969.

The original front and back cover of the album shows Ike and Tina eating a watermelon while wearing whiteface as a mockery of blackface minstrelsy. As a tongue-in-cheek statement, Minstrel characters Amos and Andy who wore blackface are credited on the album for the design & photography. The actual art direction was by Tom Wilkes and photography by Barry Feinstein.
