"Jugband Blues" is a song by the English psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, and is featured on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets, released in 1968. It was written by Syd Barrett, being his sole writing contribution to the album, and also his last published for the band. Barrett, and the band's management wanted the song to be released as a single. The song was written around the same as "Vegetable Man" which is directed towards the music industry and himself, while "Jugband Blues" is towards anyone within Barrett's orbit.

Famous quotes containing the word blues:
“As one delves deeper and deeper into Etiquette, disquieting thoughts come. That old Is- It-Worth-It Blues starts up again softly, perhaps, but plainly. Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness. The letters and the conversations of the correct, as quoted by Mrs. Post, seem scarcely worth the striving for. The rules for finding topics of conversation fall damply on the spirit.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
