On My Way & Shoutin' Again! is an album released by pianist, composer and bandleader Count Basie featuring compositions by Neal Hefti recorded in 1962 and originally released on the Verve label.

DownBeat critic Harvey Pekar commented in his February 28, 1963, review: "generally fine solo work and several admirable Hefti scores plus Basie's inevitably strong rhythm section – all of which adds up to a very good album."[5] AllMusic reviewer Michael G. Nastos described the album as "A solid and worthwhile album that has been out of print for far too long, this will be a welcome addition to any Basie lover's collection, and comes highly recommended to anyone even mildly interested in excellent large-ensemble mainstream jazz" - Wikipedia
