Chords for Boz Scaggs - Out of the Blues (Album Trailer)

[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Cm] It goes from being that [Bb] thing that lit the fire when you're a kid, you know that passion [Eb] that sense of discovery
That comes [Gm] with listening to the [Bb] radio and every generation has its own
That's one [Eb] thing
For I grew up in Texas all the [Gm] guitar players of [Bbm] my age
seemed to have a some sort of a history of [Ab] T-Bone Walker and
Lightnin' Hopkins and
Freddie King and
BB King and we listened to [Cm] music that came out of Houston Bobby [Ab] Blubland and a lot of Jimmy [Eb] Reed
Playing in the [Bb] clubs when I was in high school
And [Eb] I got to see Ray Charles when [Bb] I was in like 14 years old my first concert
It was around it formed [Gm] a lot of what we considered our own.
That's [Bb] what we learned to [Eb] play
on our instruments learned how to sing
The name of the [Ab] record is out of the blues it's got a little bit of rhythm to it.
I guess the way that it
resonates with me [Eb] most now is [Cm] that
most everything that
[Ab] That I'm doing on this on this [Eb] current record is out of my experience with the blues when it all comes down
[Cm] I think it's it could be said that practically everything I do comes [Fm] out of blues
Going back to the [Cm] beginning so you might as well get it in there
_ _ Wow
It's [Bb] sort of the old motto you got to make the song your own if you're gonna record it
You've got to [Eb] find something about it that is [Gm] distinctive and give it another reading.
Give it another treatment [Bb] if you can
So I found my way around a [Gm] couple of songs and
I wanted that to be part of [C] this record because [Db] of the two artists who [G] most influenced me [Ab] who I can
Sort of get some somewhat near with my voice it would be between Bobby Blanton and Jimmy Reed
I can make albums of [Cm] just their material.
There's so many songs of theirs that I [Ab] love I
did a couple [Eb] each of Bobby and Jimmy Reed because I wanted [Cm] to say it once and for all that these these are my guys and
I wanted this [Ab] record to speak to some of the
Influences got me here
[Cm] Yeah, we did a couple Bobby songs I played any number of them for myself [Ab] and try to find my voice
In in them quite frankly [Cm] it was it was Bobby himself that really pushed me toward it.
I visited him [Ab] in his home
in some of his last days, I felt like he [Cm] was
He was almost giving me license to to
[Gm] I've taken the necessary
[Eb]
Bobby blue bland [C] course there, and I was now authorized to go in and and and and try it out [A] on my own [E] _
[F] _ I
Felt [C] very close to him [Gm] in as much as you [Bb] can I didn't know him really well, but but we shared some intimate musical
Something [Gm] together.
I mean if you've sung a song in your head ten thousand [Eb] times
over a period of 30 or
[Bb] 40 years you're getting something [Gm] from it
It certainly influenced me in one way or another and Bobby would would have to be one of my [Eb] most revered artists
Ray [Cm] Parker [Gm] jr..
On guitar yeah, Willie weeks on bass Ray Parker Kellner and
Jim Cox on keyboards I asked Charlie [C] Sexton [Dm] and Doyle Bramwell jr..
If they could come in and play
Give it the [Cm] Texas bass that it needed and then [Gm] an old friend and [F] songwriter named Jack Walworth
[Bb] Who's a San Francisco Bay Area local place harmonica on the tracks?
But that's pretty much it we we cut the rhythm tracks in three days
Apple Jack is [Eb] Jack Walworth Apple Jack came out of Chicago at a time when I [Bb] was going in and out of Chicago I was
They spent a little time in Madison, Wisconsin
[Cm] Ostensibly to go to [Eb] school and didn't do too much school
But I played a lot of music and met some [Bb] fine musicians, and he he's a prolific writer
Everything it comes out of the blues so to speak and it was just so easy and so
[Dm] Accessible and I like it so [F] much, and it just seemed to fit in with the style of [Cm] what I'm doing here
[Eb] music has this power to
[Bb] _ [F] Galvanize people draw people together [Bb] or you and you have your own playlist of stuff that you like and you want to share it with your
friends, it's a dialogue that I can't think of too many [Eb] other things in life that
That we have in common.
[Bb] We so
[Gm] Passionately want to talk [Bb] about [Gm] and share if you're a professional and [Cm] you get into [Eb] this
You're writing it you're performing you're singing that first love doesn't go away [Cm] and
[Bb] I'm still as excited about playing it because I was [Gm] when I started out
[Fm] [Gm] It's fun [Dm] to me these recordings of the songs [C] I love have been a [Dm] great
[Cm] They keep me going _ _
