Survivor Blues

Description

Attention legend! A veteran of the blues rock scene, Walter Trout has undoubtedly never been recognized at his true value in France. Yet this man has a resume that would make many musicians pale in comparison. He spent five years with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, was a member of Canned Heat, and accompanied John Lee Hooker and Joe Tex. Walter Trout's latest album, "We’re all together in this," achieved immense global success, winning no less than four awards for Best Blues Album of the Year upon its release. It is often complicated to bounce back after such success because expectations are high! Thus, Walter Trout decided to follow in the footsteps of the great artists he has always admired, artists who dare to take risks like Neil Young or Bob Dylan, as you never know what their new album will look like. And so, the one who has just received acclaim for an album of original compositions completely surprises us by offering a collection of beautiful covers today. Once again, he demonstrates that he is anything but an ordinary artist. Indeed, here we are far from the usual choice of covers of great standards that have already been heard in fifty different versions or the biggest blues hits. Walter Trout has deliberately chosen old and obscure tracks that have rarely been covered. This is the genesis of "Survivor Blues," the new album from one of the greatest contemporary bluesmen.
