Info zu Out Of The Blues

Boz Scaggs will release a new studio album, Out of the Blues, on July 27, via Concord Records. The nine-track collection features covers of select vintage blues and R&B songs, as well as four tunes penned by Scagg’s longtime friend, Jack Walroth.

In the midst of a musical renaissance, the versatile singer/songwriter/guitarist has created a highly personal, soulful modern repertoire. Born in Ohio, raised in Texas and Oklahoma, Scaggs reconnected with his earliest musical and regional influences. The self produced Out of the Blues features Scaggs applying his iconic voice and gritty guitar skills to a set of vintage classics by such blues greats as Bobby “Blue” Bland, Jimmy Reed, Magic Sam, Neil Young, and his friend and songwriter, Jack Walroth.

Scaggs co-produced Out of the Blues and contributed rhythm guitar, bass and lead vocals to the album. Other musicians featured on the album are guitarists Doyle Bramhall II, Ray Parker Jr, and Charlie Sexton, bassist Willie Weeks, drummer Jim Keltner, and keyboardist Jim Cox, and Walroth adds harmonica to a few of the tunes.

Boz considers Out of the Blues the third in a trilogy of albums, following Memphis and 2015’s A Fool To Care—celebrating the music that first influenced and inspired him.

“Over the last several years while this trilogy has come together I’ve been accumulating other music,” he said. “I’ve written more songs on my own. I have a little backlog of things I think I’ll probably include in the next one or two projects,” said Scaggs.

Boz Scaggs joined the Steve Miller Band in 1967, performing on the albums Children of the Future and Sailor, before launching his solo career in 1968. Scaggs continued to mine a personalized mix of rock, blues, and R&B influences, along with a signature style of ballads on such influential ’70s albums as Moments, Boz Scaggs & Band, My Time, Slow Dancer and Silk Degrees. The latter release became a massive commercial breakthrough, reaching Number Two and remaining on the album charts for 115 weeks. It spawned three Top 40 hit singles: “It’s Over,” “Lido Shuffle” and the Grammy-winning “Lowdown.” Silk Degrees was followed by the albums Down Two Then Left and Middle Man, and such hit singles as “Breakdown Dead Ahead,” “Jo Jo” and “Look What You’ve Done to Me.”
