CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com New Jersey native and California resident Trout is an established guitar star in Europe and he capitalizes on that fact on "Relentless," ripping through a live session of original material in front of an enthusiastic Amsterdam audience. Trout, as the title states, is a relentless guitarist with an aggressive and energetic style. On his seventh album he and his backing trio the Radicals deliver another solid, if admittedly sometimes less than sensational, exercise in well-played rocking blues, with the emphasis on rocking. Trout paid his blues dues working with John Lee Hooker, Canned Heat, and John Mayall but his hard and heavy sound is rooted in rock guitar showmanship. Fortunately he has the licks to keep it interesting, although when things get too frantic, such as on the overkill album closer "Mercy," it's difficult to discern the blues base of the music. Trout does slow down briefly, turning in the short acoustic tune "Lonely Tonight," but for the vast majority of the time the music is loud, lively, and barely blue. --Michael Point Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMagnificent Musician Ken R. Lemhouse | 06/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "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."
