The album contains "revisited, remixed and remastered" versions of previously released blues-hard rock songs, and is the third in a series called Red, White and Blues Trilogy following white's The Rock Album and red's Love Songs (2020).[3]

Content

According to the album's executive producer David Coverdale, some songs "have been musically embellished where my co-producer Michael McIntyre, my new mixer Christopher Collier and I felt it appropriate or necessary to bring out the best in these songs".[4][5]

According to Coverdale "it's hard to find the words to show how profoundly they connected with my soul. But 'blues' to me is a beautiful word that describes emotional expression... feelings, be it feelings of sadness, loneliness, emptiness... but, also those that express great joy, celebration and dance, sexiness and Love!".[6][7]

Release and promotion

The Blues Album includes a more blues version of "Too Many Tears" (originally from Restless Heart) compared to Love Songs (which has a remix of Into the Light version), a song "If You Want Me" which was released in 2006 as a bonus track on live album Live... in the Shadow of the Blues, and "The River Song" originally intended by Coverdale for Coverdale–Page (1993) and released for David Coverdale's 2000 solo album Into the Light.[2][8]

On band's official YouTube channel were released music videos for "Give Me All Your Love", Whipping Boy Blues", "Lay Down Your Love", "Steal Your Heart Away", and "Slow An's Easy".
