This Note's For You is an album originally credited to Neil Young & The Blue Notes, released in 1988. Most of the album's concept centered around the commercialism of rock and roll, and tours in particular (the title track is a social commentary on concert sponsorship). The music is marked by the use of a horn section.

Since Harold Melvin (founder of the Blue Notes) took legal action against Young over use of the Blue Notes name, it is now credited as a Neil Young solo recording. The back-up band Young used for this album was renamed "Ten Men Workin'" (after the album's lead-off song).
