Blues Everywhere I Go is an album by American folk singer Odetta, released in 1999. It was her first new release in more than a decade.

Allmusic said in their review: "... time doesn't appear to have affected her interpretive skills or the range and quality of her voice, which remains one of the most remarkable instruments in American folk and blues music to date."

Blues Everywhere I Go was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album at the 42nd Grammy Awards. It was her first nomination after over 50 years of recording.
