De Lawd's Blues

De Lawd's Blues is an album by saxophonist Billy Mitchell recorded in 1980 for Xanadu Records.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Despite the mostly obscure material, the interpretations are purely straight-ahead, falling between bop and hard bop in style. The musicians all play up to par on Mitchell's third and final Xanadu album as a leader".
