Walter Trout - They Call Us Working Class (but we ain’t workin’ anymore)


New Jersey-born blues-rocker Walter Trout (born 1951, Ocean City, New Jersey) spent decades as an ace sideman, playing guitar behind the likes of John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, and Joe Tex.
In 1981 be became the guitarist for blues rock band Canned Heat. This led to an invitation to play in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers where he shared the stage with guitarist Coco Montoya. He left the Bluesbreakers in 1989 and formed the Walter Trout Band which developed a successful following in Europe.
On the 2006 release Full Circle, Trout realized his dream of creating an album with some of his most admired musicians, including John Mayall, Coco Montoya, and Joe Bonamassa, among others. Walter is out on tour with his Radicals and they visit Stockholm & Debaser yesterday and gave the audience a great evening.
All i can say that im still stunned after his handling with the guitar, he knows what he is doing and he is a real master on it. The crew was great and i really like the little extra when the backline tech "Andrew" jumped in on guitar and vocal.
Todays tune is the new one, enjoy!
