"Kingfish" is a self titled 1976 studio album by the band Kingfish, which at that time featured Grateful Dead rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, Dave Torbert and Matt Kelly. Weir left the band soon after this album and some live performances. The album contains "Lazy Lightnin'" and "Supplication", a jazzy song combination which quickly found its way into the Grateful Dead repertoire.
