Guitarist Walter Trout has toured the world playing his special brand of guitar-based blues rock. He has shared the stage as a sideman for Jesse Ed Davis, Big Mama Thornton, John Lee Hooker, Lowell Fulson, Joe Tex, Canned Heat, and the great John Mayall. When Trout walked away from Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, he embarked on a solo career that has yielded a deep legacy in the worlds of blues and Americana and in the realm of revered singer-songwriters.

With gallows humor, Trout notes that his latest album, Broken, opens with a track called “Broken” and ends with one called “Falls Apart.” Between those two bookends lie some of the most personal, bruised songs of his career, twinned to some of his most rocking and defiant guitar work.
