Hot Ptah Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Walter Trout has a new album, "We're All In This Together." It was released on September 15, 2017. To me, this album is great. That is the only word for it. To me, it is one of the top 25 best blues albums of all time, by anyone. It transcends genre. It is just a great album by any standard. Blues rock and blues based guitar solo fans will love it. There are a great many concise, organized, excellent guitar solos on this album. I agree with the comment by an Amazon commentator in the link below that it is “Seriously one of the best blues albums I have ever listened to”. It is one of those albums where every moment is just top notch. They caught magic in the studio somehow. I usually do not like collaborative albums with guest stars, as they are usually much less than the sum of their parts. Somehow this one is a true winner on literally every cut. The guests are Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Sonny Landreth, Charlie Musselwhite, Mike Zito, Robben Ford, Warren Haynes, Eric Gales, Edgar Winter, Joe Louis Walker, John Nemeth, Joe Trout, Randy Bachmann, John Mayall, and Joe Bonamassa. I have thought of Walter Trout as an artist who operates on a high plateau of quality. In my humble opinion, on this album he went above his plateau to the top of Mount Everest.https://www.amazon.com/Were-This-Together-Walter-Trout/dp/B072XH65BD/ref=ice_ac_b_dpb?ie=UTF8&qid=1506436319&sr=8-1&keywords=walter+trout+cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) I don't think there are many blues/rock fans around these parts (rock is the devil that destroyed the blues). However, I've been harking back to that genre a bit lately, so thanks for the recommendation. I definitely like Eric Gales and Joe Louis Walker of the guests on the record. The closest I've been to Walter Trout was that he was playing in the Blues Tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival a couple of years ago while I was in the Jazz Tent listening to Geri Allen.

Or alternatively, the blues had a baby that eventually committed patricide?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
