EXOTIC ANIMALS... is an extension of the funk-world-rock fusion of Blair's FIRE album as well as a return to Blair's roots in psychedelia and power pop. New material was presented with remixes from FIRE as well as recordings from the 90s that had not seen CD release. Highlights include the anthem "(I Wanna Bein) Pennsylvania" featuring Michael Roe of The 77s, plus the zany prog-rock of the title track, with narration by Davy Jones (Monkees), a long-time resident of Pennsylvania. Blair said, "This is an audio postcard of Pennsylvania that you might not ever expect." Cover art is by renowned comic book artist & writer Chris Yambar.

In 2015, this project was re-released as a download album with significant bonus material.
