A Man and the Blues is the second studio album by blues guitarist Buddy Guy. It was recorded and released in 1968 on Vanguard Records. It features four Guy originals, a cover of Barrett Strong's Tamla Motown hit "Money", and a playful adaptation of the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb", covered in a similar fashion by Stevie Ray Vaughan in the 1980s.
