Sweet & Lowdown is an album by folk musician and singer Dave Van Ronk, released in 2001. It was the last studio album released in his lifetime. In this album, Van Ronk returns to recording pop and jazz standards.
Writing for Allmusic, critic Travis Dageset wrote of the album "The tunes swing along with Van Ronk's mildly Louis Armstrong-flavored rasp, which holds up throughout... for the most part, this is indispensable Van Ronk, whose forte, apart from his gift for songwriting, has always been classic interpretation that contains as much of his own distinct personality as it does respect for whatever form of American music he is delving into."[1]
