Long John's Blues was the début solo album by British blues singer Long John Baldry and his band, the Hoochie Coochie Men, featuring musicians who had previously played alongside Baldry in the Cyril Davies All-Stars. The album featured a track list that he would continue to play at live shows throughout his career.
In 1995 Long John's Blues / Looking at Long John was released on CD. It has since been re-released and remastered on Looking at Long John: The UA Years. The album had a vinyl reissue in 2009.
This album features many of the musicians from the Hoochie Coochie Men, Baldry's band at the time, although, for contractual reasons, Rod Stewart is notably absent. It includes songs such as "Got My Mojo Working," "Goin' Down Slow" and "Everyday I Have the Blues," which became staples of Baldry's live shows throughout his career. Released on CD in 2006.
