Nuclear Blues is an album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released in 1980. This was the band's eleventh studio album and their first release for MCA/LAX Records. Nuclear Blues was produced by Jerry Goldstein, who had previously been known for his work with the band War. Even though it had only been three years since they released their last album Brand New Day, the band contained a new line-up with David Clayton-Thomas being the only remaining member from that period.
This album failed to make it on the Billboard Album Charts.
Nuclear Blues was reissued in Germany in 1985 on the Platinum label under the title Latin Fire.
