5.0 out of 5 stars Relentless, December 23, 2003

This cd captures Walter at his absolute best. From start til finish you can really feel every song deep down, in every note Walter plays and every word he sings.A stand out track for me is "Cry If You Want To", a song which Walter wrote fo his son. It is beautiful and moving. "I'm Tired" is a powerful song with exciting guitar playing and strong backing. I love the way in which this cd has been recorded, capturing both the benefits of the studio and live performance. This is yet another outstanding release from Walter Trout and the Radicals. Relentless is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new line up kicks some blues butt, October 27, 2003

I have followed this band since I first heard them on radio in 1998, both through purchase of their CD's and following them on tours through the midwest.

This CD, being the band's first with a new line up on keyboards and drums joining Walter's long time bassist Jim Trapp, showcases the solid talents of the band along with Walter's songwriting and guitar playing ability.

It also contains some of the "raw" aspects of a live recording and yet still captures some of the production qualities that made "Go the Distance" such a great CD.

This work may well show a progression to a higher level for Walter's songwriting talents and the new line up may well elevate this band to the "headliner status" in the U.S. they richly deserve.

Whether your taste runs more to the gritty power guitar of "I'm Tired", or to the almost haunting ballad "Jericho Road", there is something here for everyone. There is a quality to the music that makes this CD a personal favorite and a definite must have for any blues/rock fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Trout Man Hooks a Winner, June 6, 2004

Although I am one of those so-called blues "purists" people talk about, makes me a now hard-won fan of Mr. Trout.

Of course, great guitar work, good songs, especially because they are "originals" and come from the heart.

Thanks for baring your soul to us through your music, Walter. Thoroughly enjoyable album which I have joyfully added to my Blues collection of CD's which gets frequent play.
