Walter Trout-Unspoiled by Progress: 20 Years of Hardcore Blues (2009)

Walter Trout is one of the most dedicated disciples of John Mayall, the father of British blues, who invited him to join his Bluesbreakers in the mid-1980s. However, prior to that, Walter Trout already had an extensive career as a blues guitarist, collaborating with artists such as John Lee Hooker, Percy Mayfield, and Canned Heat. In the late 1980s, Trout began his solo career, releasing his first album, "Life In The Jungle" (1989). Since then, he has released around thirty albums, both solo and with his various bands: Walter Trout Band, Walter Trout and The Free Radicals, and Walter Trout and The Radicals. "Unspoiled by Progress: 20 Years of Hardcore Blues" is an essential historical document that captures a significant part of his career, featuring fourteen tracks, some of them previously unreleased, that perfectly define his trajectory, showcasing some of his intense blues and his immense feeling and talent on the six strings.
