Having played alongside some of the greatest names in Blues including John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Canned Heat, the adage "six degrees of separation" certainly does not apply to world-renowned musician, Walter Trout. Strapped to an axe for 35 years, it is no wonder Trout's roots are showing on his seventh U.S. release, "Relentless". Fans and critics will no doubt agree that Walter Trout is now zero degrees away from the Blues greats.

The Los Angeles Times describes the Southern California resident as “a torrential, gladiator guitar player - the kind the term ‘guitar hero’ was coined to describe.” With his arresting technique, relentless tour schedule, (Trout plays upwards of 200 dates/year) and exhilarating showmanship, Trout merited the cover of Blues Revue in October ‘00, and his first American live album, Live Trout (released in 2000), hit #15 on the Billboard Blues charts followed by a Top 10 entry with "Go The Distance." Now "Relentless" propels the forward momentum.

The 14 original tunes were performed for the first time as they were being recorded in front of a dynamic studio audience at the Paradiso Theater in Amsterdam. It was produced by Jim Gaines, (Blues Traveler, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan). As cuts like the hard driving "Mercy" and soft acoustic "Lonely Tonight" can attest, Walter Trout & The Radicals' final destination may be unknown, but they have embarked on the journey and are enjoying the ride, picking up rabid fans along the way. courtesy of WalterTrout.com

As the story goes after several years and three CDs the name WALTER TROUT brings a smile to the faces of fans all over the world. Finally, name recognition has taken hold with a relentless touring schedule, playing for hours at a time, talking with fans: It is starting to happen! The name Walter Trout has a special meaning. Fans know what to expect and the word spread by the fans keeps growing every day.

Relentless – The new CD is a unique and creative idea coming from the Trout camp: Make a brand new CD with all new songs, but record it live in front of an audience in a legendary venue: The Paradiso in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. To capture the relentless power of Walter Trout and the Radicals, the new songs were recorded raw and unpolished, spontaneous, and very powerful… Relentless in other words!

Relentless is the product of thirty-five years of hard work, total dedication and little distraction. His guitar expresses his deepest emotions, his singing gives voice to his soul. The years of driving, flying, trying to get to the next venue, the sleepless nights, the early-morning wake-up calls: The road life that follows when a career of music is chosen. Glamour has little to do with it. Life on the road is full of cracks, burns and tears - like the finish on Walter’s guitar. Relentless
