Despite now being 74, on this new album, he’s playing with a level of intensity several players half his age would struggle to keep up with. Right from the outset, Walter Trout gives us his take on things which concern him, the rapid spread of AI, his recovery from addiction and the increasing complexity of life. This is classic rock rather than blues rock and he plays it really well, with a fire and savagery several younger players would like to be able to muster. And with a lengthy tour to follow this release, Walter Trout is certainly taking the opportunity given to keep on playing the blues. Walter Trout’s new album Sign Of The Times is released on 5th September 2025 via Provogue.
