Synopsis

Album Description
With the release of FULL CIRCLE, Walter Trout has realized a long held dream ? to invite musician friends from his 35+ year career together to compose and play together. His first new studio release in five years, FULL CIRCLE reflects Walter Trout?s remarkable story, from his humble beginnings as a sideman in many a blues legends? band through his rising solo star, arriving as one of blues music?s beloved interpreters. The project is a full circle in time and place, a journey through the range of styles that represent the blues music genre ? a celebration of where the blues world is, where it has been and where it?s going. Among the 25 musicians appearing are John Mayall, Coco Montoya, Bernard Allison, Jeff Healey, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Sardinas, Guitar Shorty, Finis Tasby, Junior Watson, James Harman and Deacon Jones. FULL CIRCLE is the most accomplished and satisfying release of Walter Trout?s discography, and demonstrates his passion for music is just as great today as it was when he started playing as a teenager more than 35 years ago. He considers the new album a tribute to the people and the times that have helped shape his musical appreciation, demonstrating how the many styles within the blues genre can co-exist and mutually enhance each other without fight for rank or authenticity.

CD Reviews

Don't miss this one!!
Mr. Michael S. Riley | St. Louis area | 06/20/2006

"This CD is a must have. I bought this at Walter's show last week and haven't stopped listening to it yet. Be sure to read the liner notes. It explains his connection to each artist and much more. It's really good to hear Walter together with Joe Bonamassa. They are both the finest around. They wrote the song in the studio and played it one time. This is what is on the CD. What a treat!. Also, the duo with Jeff Healey is A+. It's great to hear Walter with John Mayall on two tunes. The first tune on the CD is one of the finest tunes you'll ever hear. Walter really lets it loose on this long song. Buy this CD!!"
A superb blues album!

"Just to be clear from the very beginning, from my point of view this is one of the best electric blues albums ever published in recent years. I was wondering whom and when could have challenged the best ever made "Blues Deluxe": here is the answer. As explained in the booklet this album was meant to cover all the different shadows of blues played by Mr. Trout during his 35 years of career in the music business. The list of guests is impressive and includes (in order of appearance): John Mayall, Jeff Healey, Eric Sardinas, Coco Montoya, Junior Watson, Guitar Shorty, James Harman, Bernard Allison, Finis Tasby, Deacon Jones and dulcis in fundo Joe Bonamassa. Talking about the music there is something that is important to say: this is a live "in studio" album. All the songs included here were recorded live with all the musicians playing all together in the studio and some of them at the first take without even a rehearsal! And you can feel it! The CD immediately starts with a killer, a slow blues where Walter delivers one of the best solos of the entire album and goes on in a sequence of breath taking blues songs. Particularly good the one with the great Jeff Healey, the acoustic (the only one included here) number with Eric Sardinas and the closing duet with Joe Bonamassa. However it is hard to find a favourite one in here, as all the songs are equally good. Without any doubts a five stars album that shouldn't be missed by any electric blues fan!"

"I have been a Trout fan for a few yesrs now. I was looking forward for some time for a new studio release. The wait was well worth it. Full Circle is great. The guest artist are some of the best; Banamassa, Guitar Shorty, John Mayall, Montoya, Sardinas. Can the blues get any better? I think not. With guitar mixes of guest and Trout on different channels, listening with headphones is the best. I love this album."
