On this electrifying episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by blues rock legend Walter Trout, whose fiery guitar playing and soulful storytelling have earned him a place among the greats.
Walter reflects on the moment he stepped into Eric Clapton’s shoes by joining John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, and the life-changing career advice he received from Mayall himself. We dive into tales from the road—including his time touring with Canned Heat, and the quest for those weird, wild, and wonderful guitar sounds that have defined his style.
As always, we ask Walter to craft an imaginary mixtape, revealing the artists and tracks that lit the fuse on his musical journey.
🎸 A must-listen for blues fans, guitar nerds, and lovers of rock history.
