Sailor is the second studio album by American rock band The Steve Miller Band, released in October 1968 by Capitol Records. Like The Steve Miller Band's previous album, Children of the Future, Sailor was produced by Glyn Johns; but unlike its predecessor which was recorded in London, England, Sailor was recorded in Los Angeles, California.[1] It was the last Steve Miller Band album to feature contributions by Boz Scaggs.

"Living in the U.S.A." was covered in 1969 by Wilmer & the Dukes.
