Background notes
Archive material and source history
Walter Trout was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1951. He started playing professionally in Los Angeles during the 1970s, and in 1981 he joined Johnny Winter's band, which gave him wider recognition for his guitar work. His self-titled debut album came out in 1989.
Trout's songs like 'Let Me Know' and 'Prisoner Of a Dream' have a direct, emotional quality. He was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 1994 and received a transplant in 2008, after which he became involved with organ donation advocacy.
He has continued to record steadily, with albums like 'Battle Scars' in 2015 and 'Ride' in 2023. His band has included Sammy Avila on rhythm guitar, Johnny Griparic on bass, and Michael Leasure on drums.
