Walter Trout, Ordinary Madness. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

“The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it…” effortless words of wisdom framed by the writer Charles Bukowski, and given even greater illumination and ferocity by the blues man Walter Trout in his latest album, Ordinary Madness.

The world is not just a foolish place, but it stands aloof from the rest of the universe, revelling in its own lunacy, driven by jesters and clowns, misleading and double-talking buffoons, it is no wonder that we perhaps feel crowded in our thoughts, almost helpless in our actions, and yet there is always help, the figure offering ordinary madness, the proposal that refuses to acknowledge anything other than the fact that we are extraordinary; that madness is just a by-product of the beauty we can appreciate in others.

Walter Trout, Survivor Blues. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

A hero will take all the punches that life throws at them and still smile, they will see the fight and revel in the prospect of rebelling against the melancholy of being thought of as just another enduring spectacle to which Time soon allows to fade, no matter how hard they pressed on with their love and passions.

Walter Trout, The Blues Came Callin’. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is a genuine light in the playing of Walter Trout that few can match or even should really be allowed to preoccupy themselves with. The light of a man who plays the Blues knowing he has lived it, not just existed in its shadow but breathed it in, made love with each note running through each finger and thrived in each display of melancholic artistry.

Walter Trout, Luther’s Blues. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

In modern day blues, anything really that fits neatly or even indirectly into the genre post the new Millennium, Walter Trout perhaps only stands behind the legendary Joe Bonamassa and Robert Cray in the queue of great Blues guitarists. His own course has been guided over the last few decades and like his previous album, Blues For The Modern Daze, Luther’s Blues will further enhance this musician’s already sky high reputation.

L.S. Media Rating ****

When it comes to modern day-post war Blues guitarists, few can touch Walter Trout. With the very obvious exception of Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout stands above most giants of the genre and his latest album Blues For The Modern Daze is a testimony to the longevity and brilliance of the man’s work and sheer volume of work he has been associated with.
