Jammin'

When a jam surpasses the realm of reality and pervades the senses of the sublime, the notes that emerge serve as a conversation, a meeting of minds on a plane that fortunately has a window to let us lesser mortals sit in unison and gape. That was emotion evoked when Buddy Guy called upon guitar wunderkind Walter Trout to join him on stage. They both soared in a place that only the true musician is given access to and we were lucky enough to witness it.

Big Fish

For a guy who honed his chops with John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Canned Heat, Walter Trout is remarkably down to earth. Interviewing him was a dream and watching his show even better. He has the feel of Buddy Guy, the ease of Stevie Ray and the on stage explosion of the Stones. And he has enough facial contortions to make any photographer's month, nay year.
