Re: Walter Trout

This is seriously Walters finest album in years, probably EVER.

Alongside the uptempo rockers, we have serious slow blues, plenty of acoustic playing and typical Walter humour with one of the greatest lines I have ever head during the song 'Turn Off Your TV'


It goes :-

The Newscaster lady is looking kinda wierd
If she gets another facelift she's gonna have a beard

15 tracks and a wonderful mix of great songs and playing.

Luv it !!!!

Go get it Cathy!(and everyone else!) I've had it about a week now and probably play it 2 or 3 times a day! There's not a mediocre song in the bunch!

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?

Re: Walter Trout

Well, I finally got a chance to listen and I agree with all the praise!! Best in years!!! You always get your money's worth with Walter, but this CD is loaded with gems. Soothes a sad heart wink   Cathy

Re: Walter Trout

I was given "Blue's for the modern daze" by a neighbour this week, - really good, although don't entirely agree with some of his more luddite lyrics, but he does however sing them superbly!! I have tonight just lent my neighbour in return a load of Govt Mule CD's as he had never heard of them!

Re: Walter Trout

A huge thumbs up for Walter's new album. Ok - "Blue's For The Modern daze" is a bit of an iffy title - but its a cracking release. Walter's studio stuff never really cut it for me, always preferred him live - but have to say that this has to be his best studio output yet. The guitar is just superb. A great companion on my early morning run this morning. Get it - you wont be disappointed.

Re: Walter Trout

Walter's in the middle of a four night run at the Iridium Jazz Club in NYC through Monday night May 21. You can watch it live at: http://www.livestream.com/iridiumlive

Watching the second set tonight and Walter is playing a lot of songs off the new record plus a few of his best from the past. Great stuff!

Re: Walter Trout

Cathy and Bob (General), I presume you'll be seeing Walter at the Western Maryland Blues Fest? We'll be there! Bob, you can answer my question then... the one you said you had to think about!
