{"product_id":"ride","title":"Ride","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe iconic US blues-rock guitarist Walter Trout releases his 30th solo album, \u003ci\u003eRide\u003c\/i\u003e via Provogue\/Mascot Label Group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever fast or far a man travels, he can never truly outrun his past. On his new album he found himself eyeing the horizon and the green shoots of his triumphant late career. There was a new record deal with Mascot \/ Provogue. A move from California to Denmark with his beloved family. Even now, aged 70, Trout was still writing fresh chapters of his life story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last time we saw Trout stepping out, he was on the road in support of 2020's \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Madness\u003c\/i\u003e. The campaign ended in frustration, when Covid rendered live work too dangerous, both for this liver-transplant survivor and his fans, condemning Trout to an enforced downtime in Denmark that he hadn't known in a half-century. \"I've been at this since '69, when I started out in the New Jersey bars,\" he reflects. \"Suddenly, I'm sat on my ass for sixteen months, although I did still practice guitar every day. My wife and manager Marie knew I needed to make music. So her present to me for my 70th birthday was a brand-new record deal she had negotiated. My producer, Eric Corne, scoped out a new studio in LA, and my plan was to fly home to make a new album.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is \u003ci\u003eRide\u003c\/i\u003e, providing an emotional release-valve – both for its creator and his loyal listeners – perhaps this veteran artist can reconcile with his past, accept his future and live in the present as it unfolds. \"I think you can interpret this album title a few different ways,\" he concludes. \"I mean, this album is definitely a musical ride and I certainly tried to cover a lot of ground. But, really, life is kind of a ride too, isn't it? And I want to live mine to the fullest.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Provogue","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50404822778187,"sku":"1156294","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50404827038027,"sku":"1156295","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50404825039179,"sku":"1156293","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/baf9dc89-4120-4ad9-88f2-c216e5a93504_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726571505","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/ride","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
