Trout's latest disc comes via the Dutch label Provogue, which is not surprising, considering that his solo career took off in Europe years before he made a name for himself stateside. "The Outsider" reveals him and his bandmates hard at work doing what they do best: crunching together blues and rock to create a distinctive, intense groove. For a sumptuous taste of Trout's blues, spin "You Can't Have It All." The song is a basic three-chord blues, but it comes at you like a sledgehammer. Bassist Hutch Hutchinson and drummer Kenny Aranoff deliver a thunderous bottom line while Trout cuts loose a pair of guitar solos that are as fluent as they are nasty. For something in a quieter vein, check out Trout's acoustic rendition of "Turn Your Eyes to Heaven." —Philip Van Vleck
