| Sordid Lives - Buddy Blue Bizarre Planet Records, 2003 | ||
| Buddy Blue'sfirst all-jazz album, "Sordid Lives" is a hip, subterranean journey back to a time before jazz had any unfortunate adjectives such as "smooth," "acid" or "fusion" attached to it. From the beat poetry of "Conversation With The Bottle" to the cool thrum of "Horn Rims;" from the mania of "Saint James Infirmary" to the atonal astonishment of "Uptown At Minton's," Blue pays homage to jazz roots with all the passion, style and irreverence that fans have come to expect of him. Includes both new material and jazz re-arrangements of many of Blue's best-known tunes.

| Pretend It's Okay - Buddy Blue Clarence Records, 2001 | ||
| Buddy’s rekkerd is a summation of everything he’s been doing for the last 20 years and his most rockin’ music since the Beat Farmers days! Snarly-ass guitars, pumpin’ pianos, screamin’ sax, hollerin’ vocals and in-yer-face production collide in a seminar on American roots music: roadhouse rock ‘n’ roll, jumpin’ blues and rockabilly, cootie-pickin’ hillbilly, bangin’ boogie-woogie -- it’s all here. Guests include Judy Henske, Craig Doerge, Chris Gaffney, Billy Bacon, Freddie Brooks and Mighty Joe Longa.
