range Pop: Walter Trout follows the blues muse
CRegister – Jun 20, 2007
“I can’t remember exactly what gig it was but a couple of years ago I was at a festival and I got up and jammed with (John) Mayall and he called out a key and counted to four and off we went” Trout recalled in a recent interview. “And the audience just seemed to love the jam session. I came out of it and started thinking ‘How come nobody has done a CD where they just have a jam session and they record it and see what they come up with?’ The original thought behind it was I started thinking in jazz music and blues music that the jam session is an honored tradition and those are the only two genres you’ll find it. ” Trout ran his idea by his label (Ruf Records) and then began calling favorite musicians he hoped would participate.

Not bad for a New Jersey-born boy who spent years as a sideman playing guitar for the likes of John Lee Hooker and Big Mama Thornton as well as a member of both Canned Heat and Mayall’s Bluesbreakers before embarking on a solo career in 1990.
