Walter Trout is an American blues rock musician from Ocean City, New Jersey. After spells in Canned Heat and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in the 1980s, he started a solo career in 1989 and signed to Dutch label Provogue Records.[1] His first three albums – Life in the Jungle, Prisoner of a Dream and Transition – all charted in the Netherlands, reaching numbers 51, 20 and 46, respectively, on the Dutch Albums Chart.[2] Tellin' Stories was issued worldwide by Silvertone Records in 1994, registering at number 84 on the UK Albums Chart.[3] Trout subsequently returned to Provogue and his albums continued to chart in the Netherlands.[2]
Live Trout in 2000 and Go the Distance in 2000 and 2001, respectively, both reached the US Billboard Blues Albums chart top 20.[4] 2006's Full Circle, credited to Walter Trout and Friends, reached number 2 on said chart and number 16 on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart.[4] [3] Trout subsequently returned to Provogue and has seen increased chart success both in Europe and the US in recent years. Four albums – We're All in This Together (2017), Survivor Blues (2019), Ride (2022) and Broken (2024) – have topped the Billboard Blues Albums chart,[4] while all studio albums since Battle Scars in 2015 have reached number 1 on the UK equivalent.[3]
