"That's All Right"or "That's Alright"[1] is a blues song adapted by Chicago blues singer and guitarist Jimmy Rogers. He recorded it in 1950 with Little Walter on harmonica. Although based on earlier blues songs, music writer John Collis calls Rogers' rendition "one of the most tuneful and instantly memorable of all variations on the basic blues format".[2] The song became a blues standard and has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists.
