Gentleman's Blues is Cracker's fourth studio album.[4][5] It was released in 1998 by Virgin Records.[6][7]

Cracker frontman David Lowery said that the album's name arose when guitarist Johnny Hickman heard him playing a tune on the piano and observed that it sounded like an old Southern gentleman trying to play the blues.[8]
