Life in the Jungle is the first solo album by American blues rock musician Walter Trout, credited to the Walter Trout Band. Recorded in the summer of 1989 following Trout's departure from John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers after four years, it was originally released that year in Scandinavia by Bozz, a sub-division of Swedish record label Electra. A full release across wider Europe and the UK followed in 1990, after Trout signed with Dutch record label Provogue Records.
Named after a song by the Bluesbreakers with Trout originally recorded for their seventh studio album Chicago Line in 1988, Life in the Jungle features a mix of studio and live tracks produced between June and July 1989. The studio tracks were recorded at Electra Studios in Stockholm, Sweden with producers Erhard Schulz and Thomas Sehringer, while the live tracks are taken from Trout's band's performance at Midtfyns Festival in Ringe, Denmark on July 2, 1989.
