Great artists take the pulse of their times and Walter Trout holds a mirror up to society’s anger and angst on "Sign Of The Times". In his half-century as a street-level social observer and scaldingly honest songwriter, blues-rock’s resilient icon Walter Trout has never told his fans what to think, how to feel, or where to stand politically. But in an era when his home nation – and the wider world – is ripping at the seams over the battlelines of modern life, the iconic US bluesman’s hard-rocking new album, "Sign Of The Times", is a primal scream and pressure valve for all of us.

The album explodes to life with the first single and opening song, "Artificial" - a scornful, satirical, harmonica-spiced rebuke of the fake world we risk creating. It feels like the amps have barely cooled from 2024’s "Broken", which debuted on Billboard at #1. But the era-chronicling songs from "Sign Of The Times" wouldn’t wait, these urgent riffs flying off the guitarist’s fingers, assisted once again by Marie, Walter’s wife, manager and co-writer. Even by Trout’s standards, "Sign Of The Times" is a record that puts you through the emotional wringer. But as long as there’s poignant and relevant music, we have a fighting chance. /Bluestown Music
