Babe's Blues is an album by jazz group The Three Sounds featuring performances recorded in 1961 with one additional track from 1962 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1986.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The popular Three Sounds perform mostly standards on the album, infusing their swinging music with funk, soul, and sincere feeling". The All About Jazz review by Douglas Payne stated "Harris, aided by smooth, sympathetic bassist Andy Simpkins and subtle drummer Bill Dowdy, are in top form here, like a hip hotel lounge band with a wicked sense of the blues. Harris plumbs his specialty throughout, wresting the blues out of even the most mundane of tunes".
Recorded on August 13, 1961 (2-10) and March 8, 1962 (1).
