Slippin' In is the ninth studio album by Buddy Guy, released in 1994 through Silvertone Records.[2] The album earned Guy the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Among Guy's original compositions, "Man of Many Words" is a re-recording of a track first released on the 1972 album Play the Blues.[3] Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton, who previously performed with Stevie Ray Vaughan, provided the rhythm section on approximately half of the album's tracks.

In his home country of the United States, the album reached number 180 on the Billboard 200, number 5 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart, and number 10 on the Blues Albums chart. At the 38th Annual Grammy Awards, it won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album, marking his third Grammy Award win.[7]
Daniel Gioffre of AllMusic stated that while Buddy Guy appeared to be experimenting with pop and R&B material on Feels Like Rain in 1993, he reaffirmed his true blues roots on the following year's Slippin' In.[2]
