Great "archive"

"Unlike a lot of "vault" releases than only contain lame outtakes and inferior and/or unfinished recordings, this one of Trout's breaks that rule into pieces. This album serves well as a substitute for a new Trout album that I guess is still in the works."
A Solid Introduction To A Blues Artist Due For An American B

"Deep Trout is a very good way to become familiar with this American blues artist, who like so many before him has had to go overseas to make himself known.
Trout has been thrilling European audiences for over a decade with his excellent guitar playing, and this compilation CD features his great work on such cuts as "Victor The Cajun," "Kill The Monkey," and "Fast Moving Traffic," but by far the premium cut on this record is "If You Just Try," a live recording that just burns!
Deep Trout serves as a great introduction to Walter Trout. Some of the cuts fall short of being great vocally and musically, but "If You Just Try" alone makes this CD worth buying."
