In 2006 the official international Fan club celebrated its tenth anniversary by giving Fan Club members an exclusive live CD recorded in Las Vegas which was the last performance of the late bassist, Jimmy Trapp who died in 2005.
In 1998 Trout released his self-titled US debut CD and renamed his band Walter Trout and the Free Radicals
(later renamed Walter Trout and the Radicals
