Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Walter Trout is not about tastefulness and subtlety--he is about ferocious intensity, exhilarating speed, and raw energy. This double-disc set (at single-disc price) presents Trout's complete, unedited performance from the March 2000 Tampa Bay Blues Fest (where they say he upstaged headliner Susan Tedeschi), and it is truly a thrilling ride. Running on adrenaline after a sleepless day and night traveling, Trout rolls through heavy blues rockers, slow 12-bars, soulful groovers, and even a Dylan cover. To be sure, this is pure blow-your-mind, "guitar god" kind of stuff that many blues purists may not enjoy. There are definitely times that Trout's incessant over-the-top style becomes slightly tedious, and there's not much in the way of originality, unless you count the fact that few others are even capable of such supersonic licks and unearthly tones. Still, despite the lack of a truly distinctive sound, Trout's ability to consistently fan the flames is amazing, and his voice, while not on a par with his guitar, is passionate and powerful. If you are a fan of pedal-to-the-metal electric blues-rock, few can match Trout in terms of sheer dexterity and drive. --Marc Greilsamer

5.0 out of 5 stars In Your Face Blues Guitar!, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Live Trout Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

If you like blistering, jaw dropping, legendary blues Guitar, then you will LOVE this guy! I first heard Walter Trout as a single cut on a blues radio show while driving my car. I went to the music store and bought my first Trout CD - Walter Trout. I have not been able to get enough since. Having eagerly awaited the release of Live Trout, I was not disappointed. How I envy the crowd at the Tampa Bay Blues Fest in March 2000! Next time, they will envy me because I will NOT miss any performance Walter Trout plays within 500 miles. If you like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, or Kenny Wayne Sheppard, then CHECK THIS GUY OUT! I can guarantee you will be a "Trout Head" too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Live with Walter Trout, September 9, 2000

This review is from: Live Trout Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

After witnessing a Walter Trout performance at the Street-Scene festival in San Diego, I was in total shock at the way his axe talks and screams blues, either dirty or clean. I could hear the Hendrix influence after about 25 seconds, and he sure loved the man. I never heard of him before the festival and was also shocked he was from S. Jersey, as I am a native philadelphian living in San Diego, and could never dream some one from the area could play and sing the blues with the best of them, that's right. He played a lot of songs from his live cd from the Tampa blues festival and he was the best group of the whole festival, and thats no crap either. If you love Blues guitar, Walter Trout is your man for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trout's a primal force of nature, July 28, 2000

This review is from: Live Trout Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

This CD recorded at the Tampa Blues Fest is a real treat for anyone who likes the blues. Story has it that Susan Tedeschi was the headliner who had to follow Trout and the Free Radicals. Sorry Susan, but the only thing that could follow Trout that night was World War III!

This CD is a great way to meet your neighbors. Just go out on the sundeck, crank this bad boy up, and everyone in your neighborhood will show up quickly...
