Cheap Thrills is the sixth studio album by the American country music band Confederate Railroad. It was issued by Shanachie in 2007. The album is composed of cover songs by country music and Southern rock artists.

Michael Sudhalter of Country Standard Time gave the album a generally positive review, saying that the album showed the band's Southern rock and honky-tonk influences. He thought that the covers of Alan Jackson and Joe Diffie songs were "lowlights".^[1]
