Trout, Walter Unspoiled By Progress - 25th Anniversary Series

2014, It's hard to believe that Walter Trout will be sixty years old next year. He still seems like a new kid on the block, but it's now been twenty years since he left John Mayall's Bluesbreakers to form his own band. Prior to that he'd played alongside the likes of Percy Mayfield and John Lee Hooker before a lengthy stint in Canned Heat. But it was as part of a dual guitar lineup with Coco Montoya in the Bluesbreakers that he really made his name. UNSPOILED BY PROGRESS marks an outstanding collection of new, unreleased and live recordings from one of the greatest living blues guitarist. Recordings on this album are taken from Walter Trout's twenty years as a solo artist and include recordings made for the BBC at Maida Vale Studios. If your enjoy guitar based blues/rock full of energy this album is a gem.
