Renowned guitarist Walter Trout has been playing the blues for five decades. Living hard and fast, the former Canned Heat man almost paid the ultimate price a decade ago, when complications from a much needed liver transplant left him brain damaged and unable to speak or walk, much less play. Making a miraculous recovery, he returned to the stage in 2015 and has been a mainstay ever since. "It was very emotional, and there was all kinds of weeping and hugging", he tells us on a Zoom call from his home in Denmark. Talking his resurrection, 2024 album 'Broken', and his love for Rory Gallagher, we caught with the bluesman.  The outsider; Eamon O'Neill.
