Muleskinner is the eponymous debut album by the progressive bluegrass group Muleskinner,[3] recorded at the Record Plant, Hollywood, California, March 27 through April 14, 1973, and released later that year. It is their only studio album. The album was re-released by Ridge Runner in 1978 and re-issued on a compact disc in 1994[4] under the title A Potpourri of Bluegrass Jam, which was a banner on the front cover of the original album release.

Muleskinner reunited David Grisman and Peter Rowan, who had played together in the band, Earth Opera. They along with bassist John Kahn would go on to form Old & In the Way after Muleskinner disbanded.[1][5]

Shortly after the release of the album guitarist Clarence White died, and the album was subsequently dedicated to him. The band released a live album in 1998 (recorded in 1973) and re-united for a couple of one-off performances.
