 Rating: - ...the best yet...One time Bluesbreaker and Canned Heat man, Walter Trout has been firing out solo albums for a long time now, but they've always felt a bit incomplete to me. So, it came as a particular delight to sit down with the new one, and find myself hitting the repeat button when it came to an end. For this might just be the best album of his career. From the opening, autobiographical, 'Welcome To The Human Race' onwards, it's a constantly unfolding pleasure. It's also the album that sees him straying further away from his Blues rock roots, something that may find a few old time fans drifting away. Even I had a bit of trouble with 'The Next Big Thing', a 1968 Beatles style radio rocker. But when he comes up with songs as inspired as the British ...

As with any new WT album I have been eagerly expecting this one and it does not fail. My only note of concern is these studio albums never seem to show his true ability. They are far too polished and produced to really let the music get under your skin. The earlier albums and indeed the live albums enable you to feel like you are actually there. A good album but not great and I must be one the longest serving fans. Rating: - Strength as a weaknessThere is one problem with Walter Trout and artists of his ilk which stems from their greatest strength which is that for all that he is a great guitarist, a more than fair vocalist and his band are tight there is an inherent weakness in the fact that you only find his stuff in the "blues" section in record stores, and so no matter how good any album he produces (and this is a good album) he is unlikely to pick up any new afficionados which is a real shame as no matter how unfashionable he or indeed his chosen genre may be, he is bloomin good at it and this album is a fine new recording. Sure there is not much here that is new but if this is old fashioned then I'm all for it. |
