Walter Trout and Provogue Records / Mascot Label Group have released a second lyric video in front of his upcoming new studio album Ordinary Madness out globally on August 28. The song, “All Out Of Tears,” was co-written with Teeny Tucker and Marie Trout.
Trout shares, “In January, I was walking around at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and ran into my friend (Blues singer), Teeny Tucker. I asked her how she’s doing and she told me of recently losing her son, Boston. She said ‘my heart is crying but my eyes are dry. I guess I’ve just run out of tears to cry.’ I felt so bad for her and asked her if she’d like to write a song with me to honor her son’s memory using those words – and my wife and I worked with her to turn it into a song about the loss and grief one feels when losing a loved one.”
The pre-order is live, featuring configurations that include 2LP+MP3, CD, Limited CD Box, and MFiT Digital, all of which are available here: http://smarturl.it/walter-trout.
For Walter Trout, there is no ‘us’ and ‘them’. Across his five-decade career, the great U.S. bluesman’ s music has always been a lifeline and call-to-arms, reminding listeners they are not alone. Now, as the world seeks solace from a tragedy that has touched us all, he comes armed with a boundary-exploring new studio album and eleven searingly honest songs that bring his fans even closer. “There’s a lot of extraordinary madness going on right now,” considers Trout, of the COVID-19 crisis. “This album started because I was dealing with the flaws and weakness inside me. But it ended up being about everyone.”
Ordinary Madness was completed mere days before the U.S. shutdown, its cathartic songcraft and themes of shared troubles couldn’t chime better with a period in which our souls and spirits are under fire from tumultuous global events.
Touring plans will be announced in the coming months as The World returns to some level of normalcy enabling all artists to return to staging appearances.
