2019 album vinyl reissue. No ordinary covers album. From the day he conceived the project to the moment he counted off the first song in the studio, Walter Trout had a bolder plan for Survivor Blues. I'm riding in my car sometimes, says the US blues titan. I've got a blues station on and here's another band doing Got My Mojo Workin'. And there's a little voice in me that says, 'Does the world need another version of that song?' So I came up with an idea. I didn't want to do Stormy Monday or Messin' With The Kid. I didn't want to do the blues greatest hits. I wanted to do old, obscure songs that have hardly been covered. And that's how Survivor Blues started... Returning with a covers album represents an eye- opening curveball from a bluesman whose original songcraft has never been more acclaimed.
