The Outsider has been all about commitment: From Walter's desire to create songs that speak to the soul as well as the mind, the producer (John Porter), who added his musical experience creating a partnership in finding the best possible expression for Walter's intentions, to the musicians who each in their own expert way added a unique and strong statement - there has been a unique sense of team work throughout, filling Walter with a thankfulness to be able to surround himself with people of so much talent. Walter Trout is a blues guitarist, singer and songwriter of his own band.
