City Winery Atlanta presents Walter Trout live on April 6th at 8pm!

Walter Trout’s latest album, Broken, reflects the turbulence of modern life while holding onto hope. At 72, the legendary bluesman has spent seven decades navigating America’s music scene, from his early years in New Jersey to iconic stints with Canned Heat and John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Despite the challenges—trauma, addiction, and a fractured world—Trout remains driven by a sense of possibility. “I always hold on to hope,” he says, a theme that runs through the album’s mix of rage and reflection.

Trout’s solo career, which began in 1989, is the heart of his legacy, with his songwriting and guitar work continually evolving. Recognized with multiple blues awards, he has also gained the admiration of peers like Bob Harris, who named him “the world’s greatest rock guitarist.” Yet Trout isn’t content to rest on past achievements. “I want to be a vital, contributing artist,” he says, still hungry to grow and create. This quest for progress has fueled his relentless work ethic, even as his sound and lyrics take on more personal, political dimensions.

Broken was recorded with his longtime producer Eric Corne and the Trout Band, capturing a raw energy that reflects the bluesman’s experiences. The album features collaborations with artists like Beth Hart and Dee Snider, blending poignant introspection with fiery rockers. On tracks like “I’ve Had Enough” and “Bleed,” Trout channels his past while embracing new influences, including a guest harmonica solo from Will Wilde and the poetry of his wife, Marie, who helped write the lyrics to “Broken.”

The album’s closing track, “Falls Apart,” symbolizes Trout’s view of the fractured world, yet he remains unwavering in his idealism. “I still believe in that Sixties idealism,” he says, emphasizing that as long as there is love and music, there is always hope. Despite the chaos, Broken is a testament to the enduring power of art to heal and inspire, with Trout’s unyielding spirit and hope shining through every note.
