Tangled Up in Blues: Songs of Bob Dylan is a 1999 album of Bob Dylan songs performed by various artists, featuring blues legends such as R.L. Burnside, Mavis Staples, and Taj Mahal.[2] Additional artists include Isaac Hayes, Leon Russell, and Dylan's long-time collaborators, The Band.[1]

Two reissues of the album were released under the title All Blues'd Up!: the first in the U.S. in 2002 and the second in the Netherlands in 2003. While both feature the same tracks as the original release, the songs on the U.S. reissue were in a different order.[3]

Tangled Up in Blues was part of a series issued by the House of Blues record label under the tongue-in-cheek title "This Ain't No Tribute Album".[4]. The series featured 12 albums which were released from 1997 through 2002. Other artists whose works were highlighted in the series included The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, and Janis Joplin.[5]
