Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for L.A. is an album by Waylon Jennings, released on Epic Records in 1992. It was Jennings' third and final album on the label – the previous two being The Eagle (1990) and Clean Shirt (1991), a split album with Willie Nelson – and marked the end of his days of being signed to a major imprint. "Just Talkin'" and the title track were released as singles, but failed to chart; the record itself was a commercial disappointment as well, reaching #70 on the country charts. The short liner notes, expressing thanks to several individuals, were written by the singer himself.
