Blues-rocker Walter Trout struts his stuff on Breaking the Rules. Overall, it's another fine outing for rabid blues guitar fans, full of gritty, gutsy playing and well-executed band support. Although songwriting isn't the album's primary focus, there are a number of songs here that resonate pretty well. On the other side of the coin, his balladry tries to be sincere yet leans toward sentimentality, which can dissipate the fire of the harder-rocking tracks. Still, Breakin' the Rules is an entirely worthy effort by one of contemporary blues-rock's most underrated instrumentalists.
