Living in the Danger Zone is a studio album by the blues musician Son Seals, released via Alligator Records in 1991.
[9] The Chicago Tribune wrote that the album "emphasizes uptempo funky blues, with the occasional classic Chicago shuffle and mid-tempo, minor-key tune for variety.
"[9] The Washington Post called the album "impressive," writing that Seals "powerfully recites a litany of sorrows against a backdrop of jackhammer drums, organ and occasional horns, playing blistering guitar lines to express what the lyrics can't.
"[10] The New York Times wrote that "Seals tears into ... the losing-streak lament 'I Can't Lose the Blues' and 'Tell It to Another Fool', a bitter declaration of independence from heartache, with convincing autobiographical zeal, singing with gruff exuberance and unleashing steely outbursts of impassioned, stabbing guitar.
"[11] AllMusic wrote that "the self-pitying ballad closer 'My Life' is the worst thing Seals has ever put on tape for Alligator.
