'''''Long Line''''' is the fourth [[solo album]] by [[Peter Wolf]], released in [[1996 in music|1996]]. The album marked a shift in Wolf's music from pop rock to a bluesier rock with more personal, introspective lyrics.<ref name="SouthCoast">{{cite web|url=http://www.southcoasttoday.com/article/19960630/News/306309884|title=Peter Wolf talks the 'line' ''southcoasttoday.com''}}</ref><ref name="JEric">{{cite web|url=https://jericsmith.com/1997/12/10/interview-with-peter-wolf-of-the-j-geils-band-1997/|title=Interview with Peter Wolf of the J.

Eric Smith}}</ref> It had been six years since the release of his previous album, the delay largely due to legal problems with his previous record company [[MCA Records|MCA]].<ref name="JEric"/> In the interim, Wolf performed gigs in the Boston area with his band Houseparty Five, who then served as the backing band on his tour for this album under the name The Street Ensemble.<ref name="SouthCoast"/>
Rolling Stone gave Long Line four stars. "The arrangements on Long Line, with their crisp guitar licks and neatly vigorous keyboards, feel a bit slick at times. But tunes like the sparkling, hip-hop-laced "Romeo Is Dead" and the wistful "Two Loves" are bound to prove irresistible."
