Son of a Preacher Man is a studio album by Nancy Wilson, released on Capitol Records in June 1969.
Like other Wilson albums from the same time period, it features a combination of vocal jazz, soul, blues, and popular music, but it also contains songs by country artists Hank Cochran, Roger Miller, and Bobby Russell.
