Another great player that isn't a common name to many. Too bad 'cause he's tremendous
Here's a blurb from Wikipedia:
Trout's career began on the Jersey coast scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He then decided to relocate to Los Angeles where he became a sideman for Percy Mayfield and Deacon Jones. He also worked in the bands of John Lee Hooker and Joe Tex.[1]
In 1981 he became the guitarist for Canned Heat.[1] This led to an invitation to play in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers where he shared the stage with fellow guitarist Coco Montoya. He left the Bluesbreakers in 1989 and formed the 'Walter Trout Band' which developed a successful following in Europe.
Here are 2 great examples, Hootchie Cootchie Man and Goin' Down
Enjoy
