Tour news for 2004 (ALL
subject to change)
In early 2004 (mid February) we will tour the Pacific Northwest in the
USA. We will do shows in Seattle/Tacoma, Vancouver in Canada, as well as
Reno Nevada and Portland Oregon.
We will be doing a special festival in the USA in the spring and a few
days around it. Cannot announce which yet).
The plan is to tour in Europe in late April through May. We will cover
Germany, Lithuania, Italy and France.
July will be a festival tour of Europe with festivals scattered all over
Europe. We will start this run on July 2nd and end 20 days later or so. I
cannot reveal which festival we will be playing yet, as the festivals have
not announced themselves.
August and September will be touring in the USA. We will hopefully get
some good festivals and definitely play the club circuit to back it up.
We will end the year by doing a big event in the USA (cannot reveal it yet,
as it is not 100% confirmed)
Then
tour the UK, Netherlands and Denmark, as it is customary for us to do late
in the year. This year, Walter has requested that we do the tour so that
he can vote and be home for the Presidential Election in early November.
So whether we will be in Europe before the election or after, remains to
be seen.

Live show energizes Trout
By Mark Brown, Rocky Mountain News
December 12, 2003
It's an idea that has a solid track record, so it's a wonder that more
people don't try it. Neil Young did it with Time Fades Away, Jackson
Browne with Running On Empty, Joe Jackson with Big World, Jimi Hendrix
with Band of Gypsys.....

Walter Trout and the Radicals
Relentless (Ruf Records)
Reviewed by Eric Steiner
Walter Trout's newest CD is just like most of his Ruf
Records catalogue, and he's been able to keep the blues flames fired by
his relentless guitar wizardry in five other Ruf solo CDs

REVIEW of RELENTLESS 9/11/03
Relentless
can be viewed as an apropos title considering
Walter Trout has been relentless in performing some of the most
powerful, guitar driven Blues-based Rock of any practitioner in the last
twenty or so years. Picture someone playing hard, as if trying to make
Stevie Ray Vaughan look like a slacker.

His Way
Bluesman Walter Trout thrives in
obscurity
By Richard Abowitz
Sure, in interviews the rock stars say it's all about the music. But
then why not play jazz—or, as Frank Zappa called America's great art, the
music of unemployment? The truth is that...

News of the forthcoming LIVE DVD-CD recording.
For the next release for Walter Trout and the Radicals we thought we would
attempt a new approach to doing the same old studio CD, and hence make our
product more interesting and set it apart from the rest.
For our August 2003 CD release, we are going to release
ALL NEW SONGS recorded LIVE at the Paradiso in Amsterdam (where the
Rolling Stones did "Stripped"). We will be documenting this on a DVD in
surround sound, where all the tracks will be featured, and of course a lot
of "special features" with background information, interviews, fun stuff
etc. We will have Michael Au (Ohne Filter) take care of the video aspect
(filmed by Dutchview), and Jim Gaines (Santana, Stevie Ray) produce the
sound.
By having a double product: The CD featuring the tracks
of all the new songs (never before recorded), and the DVD in 5.1 surround
sound with a more relaxed and "documentary" feel, but with some great
sounding music.... We hope to raise the bar for what is expected of
recording artists, and certainly what can be done with the new technology.
I believe, if we can make the music relevant and fun to
the record buying public, we will have a chance of actually keeping their
attention. This as we of course keep trying to find new avenues exploiting
the Internet as well.
This has not been done before. Not many bands have yet
recorded their NEW MATERIAL live in front of an audience, and the 5.1
surround sound technology is fairly new in this, and most 5.1 DVD's are
just remixed old recordings.
The actual recording at the Paradiso will take place on
May 13 and 14. The USA release date is set for August 12th, 2003. Other
countries dates will vary.

Walter Trout is now endorsed by
Vigier Guitars. See Vigier press release below.
Walter Trout Expert in Blues
Vigier, the advanced guitar
designer, is proud to welcome L.A.Music Award Blues phenomena, Walter
Trout to Vigier's circle of artists and users.
With a reputation for rippin' licks alongside the greatest names in blues
including John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, John Mayall & the
Bluesbreakers and Canned Heat, the Vigier Expert series guitar provides
extreme value to his stage performance.
With Trout's on stage ability and his Vigier guitar, he keeps the art of
blues thriving and vivacious. "My Vigier Expert guitar plays great and
sounds awesome. It has an especially full and clear tone down on the lower
strings. A lot of guitars tend to get muddy in that area, but not my
Vigier. The sustain is incredible but not at the expense of the clarity of
tone. It stays in tune very well through all my crazed bending of strings.
It plays with lots of ease and a minimum of effort. It's an awesome
guitar," says Trout. Beyond any doubt, Vigier's scorching guitar sound
enhances the boundaries of one of music's oldest forms.
With strong endorsement the Vigier Expert, series leans strongly on the
classic double cutaway design and with masterful construction possesses
one of the most comfortable necks created.
The Expert is an advanced guitar, a subtle combination between modern
technology and classic art of lutherie, which makes it unique in a
saturated market. It is available in 3 pickup configurations and models;
Retro 54, Standard '63 and Texas Blues.

Marc Campbell, a student from the University of Stirling (Scotland),
contacted the webmaster regarding Walter Trout and the Radicals website.
He was doing a project for university on HCI which stands for Human
Computer Interaction and is basically to do with colour schemes, buttons,
images and usability of multimedia. It's part of his Multimedia and HCI
course. He included the website as an example of good HCI. His project
went really well and he managed to compare several other sites too (Kenny
Wayne Shepherd, Eric Bibb) and he was awarded a 1A for it so his professor
was obviously a Blues Rock fan!
