Fuse is an album by Joe Henry, released in 1999.

## Production

The album was co-produced by T Bone Burnett, and partly mixed by Daniel Lanois. Henry initially attempted to have Dr. Dre produce Fuse.

## Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that the album "continues to develop Trampoline's spooky style of bluesy Americana." The Chicago Reader wrote that "the entire album exudes a kind of sweet, danceable darkness, with sparse drum loops, moody bass lines, and delicate guitar and synthesizer washes."
