Deliverance is the sophomore album by American rapper Bubba Sparxxx, released on September 16, 2003 by Interscope Records. It was produced by Timbaland and Organized Noize. Although this album was commercially unsuccessful, selling around only 350,000 copies, it is regarded by many critics such as The Source, Hip-Hop Connection and more mainstream magazines such as Q to be something of a landmark in hip-hop music. The album's main strength according to critics was that it embraced Sparxxx's grass roots, with production heavily influenced by country music and similar musical styles. This influence is evident on tracks such as "Comin' Round" which sampled its chorus from a track by the bluegrass group The Yonder Mountain String Band, leadout single "Jimmy Mathis" which is led by a catchy harmonica tune from the Area Code 615 track "Stone Fox Chase", and "She Tried" led by a washboard rhythm section and a mellow fiddle sound.

Deliverance spawned two hit singles, "Back In The Mud" and "Deliverance". "Back In The Mud" was also on the Madden 2004 soundtrack.
