Nothin' but the Blues is a 1977 album by guitarist and singer Johnny Winter.

A statement in the album liner notes says, "I'd like to dedicate this album to all the people who enjoy my kind of blues and especially to Muddy Waters for giving me the inspiration to do it and for giving the world a lifetime of great blues.

"[2] Parallel Forces wrote, "Released in the wake of [the Muddy Waters album] Hard Again, Nothin' but the Blues has the distinction of being recorded with the same musicians.

These two albums mark the return to grace of [Johnny Winter] in the world of blues that he had somewhat neglected in previous years, devoted more to rock.

"[5] All songs written by Johnny Winter, except "Walkin' thru the Park" by Muddy Waters.
