Attica Blues is an album by avant-garde jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp.

Originally released in 1972 on the Impulse!

label, the album title refers to the Attica Prison riots.

[6] The AllMusic review by Steve Huey states: "Attica Blues is one of Shepp's most successful large-group projects, because his skillful handling of so many different styles of black music produces such tremendously groovy results".

[7] Stephen Davis of Rolling Stone said that it was "not just a masterpiece of protest: [...] it is more a politico/religious experience, an appeal to higher human consciousness to, for God's sake, help us out of this torment.
