Dislocation Blues is a collaborative studio album, credited to American singer-songwriter and guitarist, Chris Whitley and Australian musician, Jeff Lang. The album was recorded in studios between Adelaide and Melbourne in April 2005, seven months before Chris Whitley's death from lung cancer.[1]

The album was released in Australia in August 2006 and peaked at number 64 on the ARIA Charts, becoming the highest-charting album in Australia for both artists.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2007, the album was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album.[2]

Reception[]

Thom Jurek from AllMusic said "This collection of traditional blues tunes such as 'Stagger Lee' covers of Bob Dylan's 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' and 'Changing of the Guard' and originals from the catalogs of both men is an intimate, loose, deeply intuitive, and complementary set".[1]
