WALTER TROUT – Ordinary Madness (2020)
It would seem all but impossible for an artist to produce an album that sounds original and inspired on their 29th attempt, but that is exactly what WALTER TROUT achieves on his new album ”Ordinary Madness”.
Recorded at Robbie Krieger’s studio, the eleven tracks share common themes of time, mortality, and love, all while managing to sound vastly different from one another. There’s stupendous songs from crushingly hard rockers, midtempo blues rock tunes to a powerful ballad.
A nice texture to this album is the use of Hammond organ, coupled with Trout’s guitar blistering at his best, with fine vocals and fantastic solos.
Definitely one of the best blues-rock albums of the year…
