I am seeing Walter this Friday in Newcastle Uk. He’s been an inspiration for me since 2019 when I started suffering intestinal failure after 35 years of chronic Crohn’s disease. I spent weeks in hospital back in 2019 then last April i sprang another leak internally and developed sepsis and sepsis in my thigh when the contents of my pelvic cavity leaked into my right thigh. I was in hospital again for 2 months. I am fed 14 hours a day via an infusion directly into my bloodstream as I don’t have enough gut left to live on. I picked up the guitar 18 months ago and practiced a few hours a day since. Thanks Walter for the inspiration

My family and I have known Walter since his OLD Huntington Beach days when he was dating my sister. We all were SO worried about him and prayed he would get a liver quickly. It took some time and a toll on everybody, fans alike but obviously mostly Marie and their boys. God answered our prayers and by His grace Walter is still with us, and all over the world! I LOVE you Walter and still have the pic of you holding Shannon (Ed's and my daughter 42 yo) on mine and Ed's couch when she was just a baby!! Your Strat sitting right next to you on the couch. I remember when you called us on the fourth of July one year. You were in Europe touring and played The Star Spangled Banner (like Hendrix, Woodstock) and it made you cry. You missed home. You wanted to talk to Ed. Ed passed away earlier this year and was Walter's BIGGEST fan. 💜yvonne my edit: PEOPLE, who you are seeing and hearing right here is probably the most genuine, sincere, giving, humble, grateful and HONEST human being on this planet. With Walter, what you see is what you get. He isn't full of himself and in my humble opinion his only ego tells him to be the best he can be, with the hope others will see that in him, not only as an amazing musician but as a simple human being. This man is a GIFT from God, straight UP TRUTH!

Very moved by Walter. I went into V.A hospital rehab that was supposed to be for 30 days.i had cirrhosis of the liver and was having seizures so they kept me for 7 months. I came out and got into recovery and became a substance abuse counselor with 40 years sobriety. Nice thing about life is we can start over anytime.

I used to see Walter live every week when I lived in Southern California back in the 90's. I got to know him quite well, and regarded Jimmy Trapp(RIP) as a friend too. Walter called my name out in the middle of three different concerts when I saw him in Europe, and remains one of the most entertaining and talented live performers I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Thank God you're still with us, Walter...🙏

Everyone who has seen Walter play raves about what a great guitarist he is, and everyone who has met Walter raves about what a wonderful person he is. And in both cases, they are completely right. Great interview.

This is incredible. I want you all to know that you are doing amazing work at Blues Rock Review. This is the best content I've found anywhere on blues rock, which I am researching fairly constantly as the editor and head writer of Blues Notes for the Blues Society of Omaha. You are knocking it out of the park on a regular basis, and I appreciate your work.

I found Walter through John Mayall and have followed his career ever since so thanks for this great interview, he seems a very genuine and humble guy. RIP John Mayall.

same here i always said these two guitar players should have their own band. I felt they were under rated and just needed a break to bust out on their own.. Love them both.Walter and Coco

Me too, I was sold after hearing "Life in the Jungle" and the other track that Walter played on, on Mayall's "Chicago Line" and then had to buy everything that he ever released.

Walters advice is honest and straight from the heart. It is something he has always felt whether he had expressed it or not, as to what makes a great guitar player. He is a true inspiration to everyone. As he mentioned upcoming Blues players, I wonder if he has ever heard of Eric Steckel, Virgil and the Accelerators, Jay Jesse Johnson, Davy Knowles, Jay Gordon, Lance Lopez, Martin Andersen (Blindstone) and Eric Gales. These are some of the greatest, brilliant, unknown Blues guitarist alive today. It's a shame they are mostly all unknown to the public.

He's a great interviewer. Asked great questions and let Walter do most of the talking. Many thumbs up. I saw a young Jake Kershaw sit in with Walter Trout and his son trading licks. Great mentoring.
