In The Mud is the second studio album by the American bluegrass band Split Lip Rayfield, released in 1999 (see 1999 in music).

It was the first album to include mandolin player Wayne Gottstine.

01Critical reception

The Austin Chronicle wrote: "High-lonesome vocal harmonies and traditional instrumentation (except the trademark bass made from an auto gas tank) nominally bring this band under the 'bluegrass' category, but the ferocity of the playing and desperation of the lyrics would have Bill Monroe spinning in his grave like a chicken on a spit."
