Artist: WALTER TROUT
Album: THE BLUES CAME CALLIN’ (CD)

Release date: 2014
Media type: CD

From the first time Walter Trout, as a tormented teenager, heard the haunting guitar playing of Mike Bloomfield, he instinctively knew the blues was his calling. 2014 marks the year Walter Trout looks back at an almost 50-year commitment to playing and singing the blues. “The Blues Came Callin” will be released worldwide on Monday June 2..The songs on the album reflect Walter’s thoughts about mortality and his renewed appreciation for being alive

Recorded throughout 2013 and early 2014, the new album features 12 new songs including 10 originals.  Walter reunites with John Mayall on the title track The Blues Came Callin’ along with Mayall’s Piano Boogie. Walter searches his soul on this album and lays it bare allowing new appreciation for life.  The blues comes full circle; both as a reflective statement about his life and career, and as an all-penetrating desire to get back on stage and do what he loves most.
