Walter Trout is an American blues rock musician from Ocean City, New Jersey. After spells in Canned Heat and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in the 1980s, he started a solo career in 1989 and signed to Dutch label Provogue Records. His first three albums – Life in the Jungle, Prisoner of a Dream and Transition – all charted in the Netherlands, reaching numbers 51, 20 and 46, respectively, on the Dutch Albums Chart. Tellin' Stories was issued worldwide by Silvertone Records in 1994, registering at number 84 on the UK Albums Chart. Trout subsequently returned to Provogue and his albums continued to chart in the Netherlands.

Live Trout in 2000 and Go the Distance in 2000 and 2001, respectively, both reached the US Billboard Blues Albums chart top 20. 2006's Full Circle, credited to Walter Trout and Friends, reached number 2 on said chart and number 16 on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart. Trout subsequently returned to Provogue and has seen increased chart success both in Europe and the US in recent years. Four albums – We're All in This Together (2017), Survivor Blues (2019), Ride (2022) and Broken (2024) – have topped the Billboard Blues Albums chart, while all studio albums since Battle Scars in 2015 have reached number 1 on the UK equivalent.
