The iconic British bluesman Robin Trower’s artful song craft and soulful performances have never sounded more alive. Even now, as he reaches his eighth decade, with a lifetime of accolades and a seminal body of music behind him, Trower is still chasing the biggest high he knows. It always starts the same way, with a road-scuffed Fender Stratocaster and a revved-up Marshall amplifier. Those skillful fingers begin exploring the fretboard until a riff sticks and a new song ignites.
From the cultural flashpoint of sixties London with Procol Harum, through 1974’s stadium-filling “Bridge of Sighs,” right up to the recent acclaimed “Come and Find Me,” it’s these addictive moments of creation that have kept the guitarist vital, relevant, and contemporary.
