I'll Sing the Blues for You is Trudy Lynn's 12th solo album and the third release on the Connor Ray Music label following up on 2014's Royal Oaks Blues Caf??, which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and 2015's Everything Comes with A Price which spent 4 months on the Living Blues Radio Chart. Trudy is also a five-time Blues Music Award nominee and was inducted into the Houston Music Hall of Fame in 2015.

Trudy Lynn was born Lee Audrey Nelms in Houston's Fifth Ward, where she began singing as a teenager. After high school, Lynn went to visit her aunt in Lufkin, where a club called the Cinderella needed a singer. She decided Lee Audrey Nelms wasn't going to cut it as a stage name. The club had a bunch of cartoon character names painted on the wall and she noticed "Trudy," which she quickly paired with Lynn. "Lynn was something in those days," she says. "Gloria Lynne, Barbara Lynn. I thought, 'I'm going to be one of those Lynns, too, baby.' "

Prior to striking out on her own, Trudy was the vocalist for such Texas greats as I.J. Gosey and Clarence Green, where Trudy spent five years as the vocalist for his band. Green was a stern mentor, but Lynn credits him with helping her become a professional. "He molded me well," she says. "He's still in me because of what he taught me. It takes that." After leaving Green's band, Lynn began performing on her own. For years she struggled to get recorded in a manner deserving of her talent, until 1989 when Trudy signed with John Abbey's famed Ichiban label and provided the opportunity for Trudy to tour the world and perform at the most prestigious festivals including Lucerne and the Chicago Blues Festival. While at Ichiban, producers had a strong hand in directing her recordings. Since joining forces with harmonica wizard Steve Krase and the Connor Ray Music label in 2014, Lynn has played curator for herself. She has been writing original songs that blend nicely with the vintage material. The songs are mostly about good times and bad men. "Each one of these songs means something to me," she states. "I truly understand something about each one of them."
