I Am the Portuguese Blues is the eighth full-length album released by Starflyer 59.

I Am the Portuguese Blues saw the return of the sound from earlier albums, as the band was stripped just to Jeff Cloud on bass, Frank Lenz on drums, and Jason Martin, the only person to perform on all of Starflyer 59's albums, handling guitar and vocal duties.

Many of the songs on I Am the Portuguese Blues were written years earlier as demos for an album to follow Americana.

They were eventually scrapped, as the band decided to take a different musical direction for The Fashion Focus.

There are a couple of proper blues riffs‚ on there, but mainly it is just a rock and roll album – no tricks no gimmicks.... And, oh yeah, I'm Portuguese.
