Simply Walter Trout

http://www.waltertrout.com Trout enjoyed a more earthy kind of inspiration while making Common Ground, thanks to his supporting cast of drum great Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, Elton John, etc.), bassist Hutch Hutchinson and pianist Jon Cleary (both of Bonnie Raitt's band), and famed producer John Porter, whose credits span from Brit-pop legends the Smiths to John Lee Hooker and B.B. King to Santana.

Porter and Hutchinson are longtime friends, Cleary and Aronoff newer ones, but Trout and his players developed a close-knit band chemistry recording his previous CD, 2008's The Outsider that reignited the moment they entered the House of Blues Studio in Encino, California to begin recording Common Ground. "I'd play each song for the guys on acoustic guitar, and then everybody would pitch in ideas and we'd cut the tracks while the excitement level was high
