Album Notes

Singer/Songwriter/Keyboardist/Composer/Producer, Louie Blue wears many hats. The first of which he donned in the sixties when he began his musical journey through life as a bassist, traveling extensively across the continental United States and Mexico.

Experimenting with trumpet, saxophone, percussion and keyboards through the years, finally led him to committing to the keyboards which he now uses to translate what he hears in his heart to the world at large. The latest hat Louie Blue has adorned is one of deep humility and gratitude for the love and support of his family, friends and fans. "I owe them everything!"

"I am dedicating this CD to a lost friend, Robert Stone (Robo) Batson 1947 - 2004. "He's My Brother", is a light-hearted tribute to his life and is presented in the third track."

Out of the Blue, is a compilation of Louie Blue's experiences and observations involving relationships among people throughout his life. From the shock of rejection portrayed in the title cut "Out of the Blue" to the whimsical "Something to Say" to the gut-wrenching agony of "I Cry for You", Louie Blue allows the listener to take a an intimate look into his very soul.

Personal Notes:
A special thanks to my good friend, Tommy (T.C.) Carter, (world renowned guitarist) for his contributions to this CD!

I am honored to have been invited by West Coast Producer, Bishop Mayfield, to contribute my song "He's My Brother" to his "Soothing Blues Compilation" disk. This compilation is a wonderful collection of independent blues artists, recorded for the "Blues for Schools" charity project, in association with the Monterey Bay Blues Festival. The CD will be used to raise funds for school seminars, designed to expose kids to the blues, and inspire a life long pursuit of music education.
