Blood Oranges were an American alternative country band that formed in the late 1980s.

[2] Cheri Knight took over on bass guitar in 1990 after Crawley moved to Wisconsin.

Between 1990 and 1994 they released two full albums (Corn River, The Crying Tree) and one EP (Lone Green Valley).

Trouser Press described them as "one of America's finest and least formulaic roots-rock combos.

[1] Jim Ryan and Cheri Knight have gone on to other musical projects, and the band reunited to record the song "Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet" for the 2003 soundtrack of the movie The Slaughter Rule.
