I Go Wild! is the sixth studio album released by blues guitarist Guitar Shorty. The album was recorded in April 2001 and released later that year on October 23 on CD by the label Evidence. The album contains mainly covers of other blues songs. The tracks "Maybe She'll Miss Me" and "Go Wild!" would later appear on Shorty's compilation album, The Best of Guitar Shorty, in 2006.

The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings says that the length of the tracks is more restricted on this album than in the past, but this "has the adverse effect of making him play at full throttle almost all the time."
