High-Dollar Gospel is the seventh album by Virginia-based blues rock artist, Eli Cook. It was released on August 18, 2017.

The album consists of mostly acoustic, original songs and revamped covers of Muddy Waters and Bob Dylan.[5] At the time of release, Cook stated this album contained the most "authenticity" in his songwriting to date.[6]

The ironic nature of the title was inspired by a spiritual "loss of direction" that Cook noticed in American youth.[7]
