David Bromberg is the debut album by American multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter David Bromberg.[1] It was released by Columbia Records in February 1972. The album includes "The Holdup", written by Bromberg and George Harrison, and "Sammy's Song", which features Bob Dylan on harmonica.

Bromberg came to record the album as a proven session musician and after performing an impromptu solo set at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. The album received highly favorable reviews from some music critics. In the United States, it peaked at number 194 on the Billboard albums chart. Released as a single there, "The Holdup" became a radio favorite. The album was reissued on CD by Wounded Bird Records in 2007.
