Bobby Rush’s New Album
‘All My Love For You’ Out August 18
Single “I’m The One” Out Now
Two-time Grammy winner, Blues Hall of Famer, and sixteen-time Blues Music Awards winner Bobby Rush has announced his new album All My Love For You will be released on August 18 via Deep Rush Records/Thirty Tigers.
The announcement arrives with the autobiographical new single “I’m the One” where Rush chronicles his storied life, including learning the blues from B.B. King and Muddy Waters after arriving in Chicago in 1952.
“‘I’m the One’ is a song that I’ve been thinking about all of my life. Ever since 1968, I was in a situation where someone comes to me and said ‘Bobby Rush, your blues is so funky, we don’t know what to call you. Funk, folk, or otherwise.’ They didn’t know what to call me. I was the first man to put the funk in the blues. I want people to know I am still funky, it’s still the blues, it’s just a modification of the blues…I wanted to do something that had the rawness in it, the commercial side of it, and have the Blackness and whiteness inside of it. I want to thank people for letting me be myself. Now I have crossed over but I haven’t crossed out.
