Baboon Strength is a 2008 album by jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter.

"I brought some decent songs and tried not to overplay. It's a never-ending process," said Hunter of the record. ^[1] It marks the culmination of Hunter's more eclectic fusion recordings; future records would follow a more straightforward blues/R&B pattern. The album was recorded at Trout Studios in Brooklyn with an old school set-up where everything happened in the same room, recorded to 16 track two-inch tape before putting it in the digital realm. ^[2]
