Big Boss Man is an album released in 2005 by the Southern American country rock band The Kentucky Headhunters. It is composed of twelve cover songs. The album's singles were "Big Boss Man", "Chug-a-Lug" and "Take These Chains from My Heart", all of which failed to chart. Four Hank Williams covers are included as well: "Honky Tonk Blues", "Take These Chains from My Heart", "Hey Good Lookin'", and "You Win Again".

The album was released in late 2025 through the band's Practice House label, in honor of the album's 20th anniversary. ^[2]
