WALTER TROUT BAND
LIVE: NO MORE FISH JOKES (1992)
320 KBPS
New Jersey-born blues-rocker Walter Trout spent decades as an ace sideman, playing guitar behind the likes of John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, and Joe Tex. In 1981, he was also tapped to replace the late Bob Hite in Canned Heat, remaining with the venerable group through the middle of the decade. While filling in one night for an ailing John Mayall, Trout (also a Bluesbreaker for some five years) was spotted by a Danish concert promoter who agreed to finance a solo tour. A live performer if there ever was one, Walter is at his best on stage. No wonder his 1992 live is the best release of his rich catalogue. I've enjoyed it now for, almost, the past seventeen years and never seem to loose interest.
This album comes highly recommended - just listen and be convinced.

Yep no hype in what you say about this boy this set is a blinder -he is in the top rank of a very very few current blues gtr AND vox players who have the real blues chops. For his studio stuff so far I have found that 2008's The Outsider is far and away his best- you agree or have i missed something along the way ?
THANK YOU for this beut !
I have two more albums from Walter Trout I'll be sharing in the coming weeks, you'll tell me if you missed something then... ;)
