"It's Just Another Round
Just Another Fight
They Try To Knock Me Down
But You Know We're Still
Alright..."
(HOLLYWOOD California) - These poignant lyrics
are the opening refrains from "Go The Distance", the
stirring title track from the Blues-rock guitarist/vocalist Walter Trout's
latest critically acclaimed CD "Go The Distance" (RUF
Records).
When disaster struck our nation during the blues-rocker's U.S. tour this
past September by way of terrorist attacks on New York and Washington,
D.C. Trout decided to change a few of the words in "Go The
Distance" - eliciting fervent response in every city from the
patriotic-minded music fans attending his shows.
Below (boldface type) are the re-recorded lyrics on "Go The

ALRIGHT..."

The lyrics from "Go The Distance" - which has garnered
Southern Californian based Trout both "Independent Rock Album Of The
Year" and "Guitarist Of The Year" nominations from the
11th
Annual Los Angeles Music Awards - call to mind a boxer getting up off the
canvas, time and time again, to keep on fighting.
So Many Times I've Been
Down There On The Ground
But I Gather Up My
Strength
And Go Another
Round..."
