Billie Jean Blues is the first compilation album released by blues guitarist Guitar Shorty (David Kearney). The album was on CD by the label Collectables on August 27, 1996, the same day as the compilation album Blues Is All Right. The album was produced by Swamp Dogg at several club sessions. The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings says that "most of the club performances are over-extended, some self-defeatingly."[1]
A reworked version of "Hey Joe" would later appear on Shorty's other compliation album, "The Best of Guitar Shorty", in 2006.
