Crossing Muddy Waters was singer-songwriter John Hiatt's fifteenth album, released in 2000. A raw album recorded with no drummer, it was a purely acoustic album that brought elements of bluegrass music into his Americana sound. The title of the album is an intentional double entendre, referencing blues legend Muddy Waters. It was nominated for a Grammy award in 2001 for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
