Walter Trout is a giant of the blues-rock genre, and a survivor whose hell-and-back career is one of musics last great untold stories. Born March 6th, 1951, in Atlantic City, the guitarist and bandleader can look back on a half-century of musical triumphs, from his breakout as all-star sideman in 70s LA, through the 80s mayhem of Canned Heat and John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, onto the solo career that thrives to this day. In modern times, Walter is a devoted husband and father-of-three. Yet few artists have walked a rockier road to enlightenment. Here, for the first time ever, Walter gives his own frank, unflinching and dazzlingly funny account of his chequered life and times. Its all here: the hits, misses, homelessness, death threats, deals-gone-bad, bust-ups and comedowns. Even when the spotlight turns onto darker subjects - the desperate trauma of his childhood, the demeaning depths of his addictions and the reality of his recent health issues - Walter speaks out with an honesty that will leave his fans with a deeper appreciation of the man and his art. Rescued From Reality is the result of 30-plus hours of interviews with Walter, and combines the bandleaders extraordinary testimony with never-before-seen photos from his personal archive. Equal parts thriller, romance, suspense and horror, its a page-turner you wont be able to put down.
