Johnson was an early blues innovator who recorded such timeless gospel informed blues numbers as “Soul of a Man” and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine.” “His music is so beautiful, primal, direct and deeply spiritual that I wanted to feel it at my back when we were cutting these songs.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe influence of old-school country blues also made its way into the tracks via the open and modal tunings Trout employed on several tunes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Limited Numbered 180g Audiophile Purple 2LP in Gatefold Sleeve with 4pp Booklet (1000 Only)","offer_id":50247538508054,"sku":"RMX-49951","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/a8f39ba1d03e0914633eb9afb46a635e.webp?v=1753311119","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/trout-walter-blues-for-the-modern-daze-2025-reissue","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
