Mighty Man is an album by the American musician Mighty Joe Young, released in 1997.[1][2] It was his first album for Blind Pig Records, although the label would reissue some of Young's earlier work.[3] Young supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
Mighty Man was nominated for a W. C. Handy Award for best Soul Blues Album.[4] Living Blues awarded the album "Comeback of the Year".[5]
The album was produced primarily by Young.[6] Due to recurring health issues involving a pinched nerve, he worked on the album over the course of 11 years.[7][8] Young financed the recording sessions.[1] He played guitar on three of the tracks, all recorded prior to his surgeries.[9] "Got a Hold on Me" was written by Willie Henderson.[10]
