Magnificent Musician

"I stumbled upon Walter Trout over a year ago and I count myself extremely lucky to have done so. Trout is, in my opinion, the single most talented rock/blues musician on the planet at this time - with Joe Bonamassa weighing in second place. If there is some musician more talented out there, I haven't discovered them and it certainly isn't for lack of trying. This is fine CD well worth purchasing - my favorite songs being: I'm Tired, Helpin' Hand and Collingswood. Being the versatile musician that he is, Trout is also well adapted to playing and singing slower tunes like `Jericho Road' and `Cry If You Want To' with great ability. Since discovering him, I have gone on to purchase just about everything he has put out - and love it all. My praise could go on and on. From listening to his music, I get the distinct impression that Trout is man who seen a great deal of life, tasted deeply of its joys and it's many pains and sorrows, has gained many battle scars and come out on the other side intact and wiser for the experiences. For example, (on this CD and his many others) when Trout plays the blues with such purpose, sensitivity and feeling ... that signifies to me that he's `been there' and intimately knows where of he sings. It's all there in his music. As with any CD you purchase, you may not like all of the songs produced within - but I believe you will adore most of these. As with all his CD's, this is very highly recommended."
