Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is the third live album by Welsh musician John Cale. It was originally released on LP in 1986 and then later reissued on cassette in 1987 with a different cover and drastically altered track listing. In 1991 it was reissued on CD with a third cover design, but with contents identical to the cassette edition. It was recorded in CBGB club in New York between 1978 and 1979 with three former members of Patti Smith Group, bassist Ivan Kral, keyboardist Bruce Brody and drummer Jay Dee Daugherty. The LP version contains different track listing than CD.

According to the sleeve notes, the first four tracks were recorded live on 28 December 1978. The other four tracks on 31 December 1979, with "Memphis" from January 1977. The venue for both gigs was CBGB's in New York. However, guitarist Ritchie Fliegler disagrees. He states: "The first five songs are the Judy, Kral, JD, Bruce and me band. From when, I don't remember. However the liner notes say it's the first four songs - This is absolutely incorrect - it's the first five.

The last three songs: "Somebody", "Decade" and "Magic" are another gang altogether".{{cite web |url=https://werksman.home.xs4all.nl/cale/disc/even_cowgirls.html |title=Discography John Cale: Even Cowgirls Get the Blues |website=werksman.home.xs4all.nl |access-date=17 October 2017}}
