Attempted Mustache is the fourth album from Loudon Wainwright III. It was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, with producer Bob Johnston and was released in 1973 on Columbia Records.

Wainwright said that "I Am the Way" was partly inspired by Guru Maharaj Ji's appearance at the Millennium '73 festival in December 1973.

Johnny Cash covered the song "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" live on his album American Recordings.
