ATLANTA – Jus’ Blues Records proudly issues the inaugural release of Turning the Same Ole Corners by blues songstress Trudy Lynn. Following the Bandcamp exclusive offering of this digital reissue of Trudy’s 2002 album “Memories of You,” her new project is now available on all digital platforms.
With influences like Koko Taylor and Etta James, Trudy began her singing career in the mid-1960s. She got noticed and sang with legendary guitarist Albert Collins and then later with Clarence Green. She performed in a group called The Rhythmaires and was even a member of Archie Bell and the Drells. In 1973, on Sinett Records, Trudy issued her debut single pairing “Long Live the Blues” and soul ballad “What A Waste,” produced by Oscar Perry. Since then, she has continued a prolific recording and touring career, sharing the blues all over the globe. Currently on the Nola Blue label, Lynn has amassed 16 Blues Music Award nominations and is a two‑time Jus’ Blues Music Award Honoree. Her complete bio is available at trudylynn.com/about.
Charles Mitchell, CEO of Jus Blues Records, says, “I have known Trudy for a long time, and have had a front row seat watching her hard work and career dedication. I believe that Trudy deserves wider recognition than she has received. We are honored to keep shining a light on her music and grateful for her support of our mission. On behalf of Jus’ Blues and all of her fans, we congratulate Trudy on her body of work.”
