The Blues Is Now is a 1967 studio album by the American singer Jimmy Witherspoon, accompanied by organist Jack McDuff.

[2] Thomas Ward reviewed the album for Allmusic and described The Blues Is Now as "arguably the finest" of Witherspoon's Verve albums and described his voice as "...in top form and hugely expressive.

...A light-night blues classic, this is Witherspoon at his most relaxed and assured and is a joy to listen to".
