2000's Lettin' Go is the seventh studio album (and ninth album) released by Son Seals, released six years after his previous studio album, Nothing but the Truth, for Alligator Records.
It was his debut on the Telarc label and his last studio album before his death (from complications from diabetes on December 20, 2004, in Richton Park, Illinois) and has a playing time of 70:39.
In 2001, at the 22nd W.C. Handy Blues Awards (since 2006 the Blues Music Awards) Lettin' Go was nominated for Blues Album of the Year and Traditional Blues Album of the Year. It won the award in the latter category.
It was produced by Seals and Jimmy Vivino of Conan O'Brien's "Basic Cable Band".
The album features Al Kooper on Hammond B-3 organ. The Basic Cable Band also played on the album: Mike Merritt on bass, Scott Healy on keyboards, Mark Pender on trumpet, Richie Rosenberg on baritone sax, Jerry Vivino on tenor sax, and James Wormworth on drums. Vivino also played rhythm and acoustic guitars and wrote the song "Hair on a Frog".
The album's final track (a remake of Seal's "Funky Bitch") features Seals jamming with Phish's Trey Anastasio (guitar), Scot "Little" Bihlman (drums) and Jeff "Jabo" Bihlman (guitar), Tim Wire (organ), and Jason Kott (bass).
