J.J. Jackson's Dilemma is the fourth album and second UK-recorded album by J.J. Jackson.
J.J. Jackson's Dilemma was recorded in London in 1970, and featured many of the same musicians who had performed with Jackson on his 1969 album, The Greatest Little Soul Band in the Land. A particular addition to the band was saxophonist Dick Parry, who would later achieve notability as the saxophonist on some of the most well-known songs by Pink Floyd, such as "Money".
Released on RCA Victor in UK and on Perception Records in the US, the album had two different covers and slightly different track listings. The single release from the album, released in England and Spain, was "Bow Down To The Dollar", with "Indian Thing" as the B-side. The album is notable as including a song co-written by Jackson and his longtime producer, Lew Futterman, "Go Find Yourself a Woman".
In 2016, the album was re-released on CD by Stoned Circle Records, at which time it was described as being "among Jackson's most interesting work and a highlight of the British underground jazz-rock scene. ...a pure gem of late-'60s fusion. Laden with the essential period quota of fuzz guitar, Hammond organ, and wah-wah effects...". Another viewed the album as "an impressive mix of soulful-funky-jazz-rock that totally works in the way that they just don't make 'em anymore."
