Mr. Wizard is a studio album by American Hill Country blues musician R.L. Burnside, released on March 11, 1997, through Fat Possum Records and Epitaph Records. The album is noted for its raw, raucous sound that captures the "juke joint" atmosphere of North Mississippi. It peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. The tracks were recorded at Lunati Farms in Mississippi and Bongload Custom Records in Los Angeles. The L.A. sessions were recorded live without overdubbing. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion backs Burnside on two tracks ("Alice Mae" and "Highway 7").
