Walter Trout's new album, The Outsider, is an amazing combination of lively blues and invigorating rock, but is confined to neither. It is hard to tell whether his music is a well orchestrated masterpiece or an inspired jam session. Trout draws from 35 of experience touring and recording in Europe and America, and enlists the help of Kenny Aranoff on drums, Hutch Hutchinson on bass, John Clearly on piano, Skip Edwards and Samuel Avila on the Hammond B3, and Jason Ricci on harmonica. This soulful outpouring of music cannot be taken lightly.JAMES HUNTER
