I'm a Blues Man is an album by the American musician Z. Z. Hill, released in 1983.[1][2] Like Hill's previous albums, it is a mixture of blues, R&B, and Southern soul.[3][4] I'm a Blues Man was among the 25 best selling Top Black Albums of 1984, and remained on that chart for almost a year; for a brief period, Hill's three 1982 and 1983 Malaco albums were on the chart at the same time.[5][6][7] I'm a Blues Man was the last album released in Hill's lifetime.[8]
