''Have One on Me'' is the third album by harpist and [[SingerSongwriter singer-songwriter]] Music/JoannaNewsom, released February 23, 2010. In stark contrast to its predecessor, ''[[Music/Ys2006 Ys]],'' which only contained five [[EpicRocking very long songs]], ''Have One on Me'' is a triple album, with eighteen total tracks at two hour long runtime. Three singles, "'81," "Good Intentions Paving Co." and "Kingfisher" were released to promote the album. ''Have One on Me'' was critically acclaimed upon release, though some criticized the ambitious triple album format and extensive runtime.

* ConceptAlbum: Can be argued to be one, with some sense of continuous narrative, telling the tale of a woman entering a relationship under false pretenses, following the relationship and the narrator's emotional turmoil, and ending with a breakup; all the relations to fictional and historical tales, such as those of Bluebeard, Dick Turpin, and Lola Montez, can be seen as allegorical in this sense, especially since a great deal of their respective songs are somewhat fictionalised or invented by Newsom.
