WALTER TO RELEASE A NEW LUTHER ALLISON TRIBUTE!!
Luther...Walter and his band have been in the studio since the beginning of the year recording this special project. Playing and recording Luther's songs with much love and respect for Luther's memory has been a life-changing experience for Walter and the band. To honor Luther for the beautiful soul that he was, and try to do his music with the energy and commitment it deserves, has been an overwhelming experience. This CD will be available later this year. As promised, those of you on the mailing list are the first to know about this project.

Leave 
your ego,
Play
the music,
Love
the people
 Luther Allison

"Luther was one of the all time great bluesmen, and a dear friend. Doing a CD of his music is something I've thought about for a long time since his tragic passing in 1997. This has been a labor of love for me, and an emotional journey through the man's music and legacy."
Walter Trout
