Somebody Loan Me a Dime is a 1974 studio album by blues singer and guitarist Fenton Robinson, his debut under the Alligator Records imprint.

[1] New York based WGMC blue radio host Jeff Harris describes the album as "one of the era’s true masterpieces", Robinson's "pinnacle".

"[1] Harris, too, pays particular attention to Robinson's voice, which he describes as "a thing of beauty, a deep, rich baritone that glides along and is a perfect counterpoint to his elegant guitar work.

In 1969, Boz Scaggs popularized the song with rock audiences, when he recorded it with Duane Allman on lead guitar for his second album.

[12] The album has been subsequently reissued a number of times by Alligator in the U.S. and internationally by Japanese labels Pony Canyon and P-Vine.
