"For My Friends" is the third studio album by American rock band Blind Melon, released on April 22, 2008. This album marked the band's return after a thirteen-year hiatus and was their first to feature lead singer Travis Warren, who joined the band following the tragic death of Shannon Hoon, the original frontman. The album reflects a new chapter for Blind Melon, with Warren's vocals providing a distinct shift in sound, but still retaining the band's signature blend of alternative rock. It received positive reviews from fans and critics alike, though it was released under the shadow of the band's past.
