Bob Kirkpatrick (born January 10, 1934)[1] is an American Texas blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, whose recorded work has been released on three albums.[2]

One commentator noted that Kirkpatrick's 1996 album, Going Back to Texas, "is a charming record. Kirkpatrick has a classy, jazzy guitar style and he leads his band through a set of originals and covers, putting an attractive, swinging spin on the music."[3] Kirkpatrick was primarily influenced by B.B. King.[2]
