Blues For the Modern Daze Walter Trout SKU: PRD73681 Barcode: 8712725736813 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue Released Date: 19th April 2012 Buying Format: 180g 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Trout’s sixth recording for Provogue Records is his first pure blues album in 23 years as a bandleader, which is astounding given his heavy resume in the genre. Trout spent five years in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and was a member of Canned Heat, two of the style’s supremely influential bands. He’s also supported a slew of classic artists including John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton and Joe Tex. Nonetheless, as a front man the six-string virtuoso developed a conflagrant approach to his instrument and a reputation for tornado-strength live shows that led famed BBC disc jockey Bob Harris to call him “the world’s greatest rock guitarist” in his influential book ‘The Whispering Years’ and won Trout the sixth spot on BBC Radio One’s list of the Top 20 guitarists of all time. “I thought it would be exciting to make a blues album now,” Trout explains. “I liked the idea of capturing the energy of my touring band playing live in the studio, and in terms of subject matter, the state of the world is perfect for writing blues songs”. And Trout is at the height of his game as a songwriter. With 2010’s ‘Common Ground’, he reached a new level of honesty and expression in numbers like the prayerful, plainspoken title track. ‘Blues For The Modern Daze’ is electrified by that quality, bringing insight on the human condition to the yearning ‘Lonely’, a song about isolation and estrangement in an age where personal relationships are replaced by virtual friendships on-line, and a perceptive sweep of the toll of climate change, conjuring visions of the Dust Bowl as well as the personal losses within today’s crippled farm economy in the set’s concluding number ‘Pray For Rain’. That finger picked solo acoustic performance gets directly to the bones of ‘Blues For The Modern Daze’. “My main inspiration for this album was the country bluesman Blind Willie Johnson,” Trout explains. “Not only does ‘Blues For The Modern Daze’ capture my interest in exploring a side of my music that’s rooted in my first musical love, it reveals something about me, too,” he explains. “It sums up the thoughts and attitudes of somebody who is getting a little older and is feeling a little like he’s a part of another era, with different values and a different perspective on life than often seem to be prevalent today. And I stand behind those values, like compassion, authenticity and honesty, as strongly as I stand behind my music.” Artist Walter Trout Genre Blues Label Provogue Buying Options 180g 2LP Format 180g
