5.0 out of 5 stars guitar on fire, September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tellin Stories (Audio CD)

Walter Trout is a "Jersey-boy gone good" playing a guitar-gone-bad. "Tellin Sories" opens with a fierce riff and never stops. During each song you wait for Walter to come up for air, but he doesn't. Every song is a wild ride of utter sponteneity--- the guitar is simply on fire. Every song offers different techniques usually done rapid-fire. Any person who has played a Fender Strat owes themselves a hearing of this CD. This man and his guitar belong at the head of the class. This is the Blues---and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars this one knocked me out too!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tellin Stories (Audio CD)

After I bought the 1998 Walter Trout CD I went back and bought this 1993 CD and was really pleased - same great stuff on guitar, super lyrics - top to bottom a fine effort - I'm just going out now to buy his newest CD that was released June 8th called Livin' Every Day - if it is half as good as the first two it is worth the money

Walter Trout has been a fixture on the electric-blues scene for years, but many of his later albums are inconsistent. The playing is always vintage Trout, but on virtually everything in the last decade there are peaks and valleys. If you never heard the original Walter Trout Band lineup on "Telin' Stories", you have missed the genesis of the artist. It's the cradle of his rock, and this CD kicks from beginning to end. Each song is completely different from the next, and there's no gristle in this meat. Solid blues with power and believability, opening to closing. HIGHLY recommended. I'd actually rate this 4 1/2 stars but haven't figured out how to do that!
