Single I Walter Trout – Sign Of The Times
Walter Trout is on a hot-streak and he is channeling dissonance on his latest single, “Sign Of The Times.” This is the second single to be released from the album of the same name – out 5 September via Provogue
“Sing Of The Times,” one of the most experimental cuts in Trout’s half-century studio output, it finds a monstrous guitar tone paired with massed chants and an out-there solo that few blues gods would dare put down on tape. As a street-level social observer and scaldingly honest songwriter, blues-rock’s resilient icon Walter Trout has never told his fans what to think, how to feel, or where to stand politically. But in an era when his home nation – and the wider world – is ripping at the seams over the battlelines of modern life, the iconic US bluesman’s hard-rocking new album, “Sign Of The Times,” is a primal scream and pressure valve for all of us.

Lyrics:
The ringer is off
But my brain’s on high
I Can’t sleep at night
So I look to the sky
Nuggets of noise
Fill the air
And all around me
I hear voices of despair
Cryin’: oooooo
I can hear them when they’re cryin’
It’s the sign of the times, pretty baby
It’s a sign of the times
Bullets and bombs
There’s airplanes and drones
My phone is buzzin’
But I still feel alone
We bend our necks
In social media pews, yea
The money kings and their sons
They own all the news, yea
Oooooooh, oooooh, I can hear you
I’m cryin’ with you now
Yeah
It’s a sign of the times we’re livin’ in, now, now
As democracy sours
We try to find our place
But contradictions devour
When lies are commonplace
Big Brother, greed
Get all of the glory
We find ourselves
We’re written out of the story
Ooooooh oooooh, yeah
Keep cryin’ keep cryin’
I can hear, I can hear ya, I can hear ya
It’s a sign of the times we’re livin’ in right now
