Border Town Legend is an album by the American musician Long John Hunter, released on January 30, 1996, by Alligator Records.

[14] The Los Angeles Times said that Border Town Legend "reveals Hunter as a raw, feral talent bursting with energy... His vocals are high and joyfully reedy, his guitar playing alternately restrained and flashy.

"[4] The Chicago Tribune called it "a simmering pot of hot, R&B-grooved Texas-style blues, distinguished by Hunter's smooth crooning and bell-toned, Albert Collins-ish guitar leads.

"[9] The Dallas Observer deemed it "a travelogue of Hunter's eccentric life—the barrooms of Beaumont, the sparkling lights of Marfa, and the fields of Arkansas—set to a boogie-blues beat.

"[20] The Post-Tribune considered Border Town Legend "a good guitarist's blues album, and Hunter writes nine fast-paced songs that loosely mirror his influences, T-Bone Walker and B.
