CD Reviews

A little more variety, but basically sticking with the formu

"I'm a big Walter Trout fan. While his guitar and songwriting are not exactly revolutionary, I admire his ability to continue a career putting out honest, meat and potatoes blues rock in a world dominated by musical CRAP. I agree with Dr. Bluesman to an extent, that he does use a certain amount of cliches in his songs (the one I notice most is the phrase "Just a man...."), but people do expect him to stay in the box musically speaking and not get too out there--like Jonny Lang. Which means a more objective (and more forgiving) way to describe his cliches here and there is "sticking to a formula that works"--like AC/DC, for example. And on top of that, Walter is just a down-to-earth, helluva nice guy who loves his music and his fans.



He does manage to branch out a little on this effort with some more folk-tinged numbers while still doling out a hefty serving of his tried and true blues rock. Walter is a throwback to the day when guitar and singing talent mattered more than how many outfits some one-named bimbo changes into during her video on MTV!!"

"Walter Trouts playing is above and beyond....and his vocals are some of the best I've been blessed to hear....Walter, his band and his friends that kick it around with him have got the Gift....not many do.....not many ever will....

"I'm a fan of the blues but did not have a Walter Trout disc in my collection. I saw this one and decided to make it my first and give him a try. I am thrilled that I did! I can't stop listening to this excellent disc. Walter does play from his gut and as a listener you can feel the soul. His guitar playing is both raw at times yet soft, tender and expressive when necessary. I recommend this disc highly! Enjoy."
