Classic Rock Blues album of the month 9 stars  “Walter attaches his heart to his peeling Strat and makes both sing on a record full of gems. Twinned with his care-worn bark and compositional flair, this is the rubber stamp on his greatness”

Hifi +  Change of label hands and boy oh boy, has he crafted a peach with this one! THE OUTSIDER is definitely one of his best ever albums. The songwriting has gone up a few notches, Trout’s singing better than ever and his playing’s gone through the roof of heaven. There’s no need for lengthy dissection; suffice to say if you’re looking for a great no frills / all action record to blow your blues away, look no further than here. 

BluesArtStudio  "The Outsider" gives more than a glimpse of what John Mayall, PeeWee Crayton, Lowell Fulson & Joe Tex saw & heard in Walter. 

Blues Matters  As always with Walter's work the songs are such that they set your feet a moving as the catchy music gets right inside of you. How he masters that balance is part of his excellence as a writer. I heartily recommend this album to everyone.
