BluesWax is the largest subscription based blues publication in the world. The nominating process for BluesWax Album of the Year 2006 began back in November with readers and contributors making nominations. The nominating process created the final ballot of:

In the final voting, with a record number of voting returns, Walter Trout's Full Circle was named BluesWax Album of the Year 2006.

Full Circle is about Walter being in the music world for 35 years and embracing where he is, where he has been, and where he is going. It is the fulfillment of a long held dream to invite musical friends in the studio, and let the music evolve in the moment, spontaneous, while utilizing the different nuances of different players’ strengths.
