	Robin Trower: Shimmering Blues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Robin Trower was one of the premier guitar players from the 70's.
		Robin opened with "Too Rolling Stoned" (my personal favorite Trower song), and continued throughout the short 90 minute set mixing hits that are played regularly on the radio ("Day of the Eagle" and "Bridge of Sighs") along with new songs from his recent CD, Someday Blues.
		Trower spent a lot of the time on stage with a big smile on his face, clearly enjoying himself and responding to the positive energy of the crowd.

	Steve's Trower Page
		Robin Trower is unique in both his playing skills and his writing skills.
		Into his forth decade as a solo act, Robin's playing, and his songs, have touched many people, and the impact that his music has had on so many over such a long span of time, is one of the reasons I started this web site and how it has continued to grow.
		I had never experienced Robin playing live until finally, after 25 years, I was fortunate enough to finally meet and see Robin perform live at two shows in California.

	Robin Trower
		Robin Trower originally became famous as guitar player for Procol Harum, but after leaving the band in 1971 he set off on his own solo career that had nothing to do with Procol Harum any more.
		Trower on guitar is like Elton John on piano: all over the place, half-improvising in the studio by building on a theme but never sticking to it note-for-note.
		Robin Trower is, indeed, one of those guitarists who's far easier (and far more useful) to be appreciated in a live version.

	BobbyShred's Robin Trower Tribute Page

		Trower released an average of one album per year throughout the rest of the 70s and into 80s, taking his place among the ranks of guitar superstars.
		Robin Trower remains one of the powerhouse guitar players of the golden age of hard rock.

	Procol Harum/Robin Trower
		Trower's career trajectory makes a remarkable story: initially just another British blues-rocker, albeit one with a harsh, piercing guitar tone, after going solo he seems to have become obsessed with Jimi Hendrix's late-period guitar technique and production style.
		Trower's galloping, heavily Cream-influenced, one-riff blues workout "Whiskey Train" is the most memorable track, and his other contribution is just superb (the brutal, cathartic "About To Die," with a soaring, notably Band-like chorus).
		And Trower's overall approach is far lighter, piling on a lot of fuzzy, atmospheric leads that are drenched with chorus, wah-wah, phasing, and even a primitive delay effect, and over-using Hendrix's spacey "Angel" ballad formula ("Little Girl"; "Bluebird," not the McCartney song and almost ruined by Dewar's mock-Eastern mannerisms, but damn good anyway).

	purevolume™ \| Robin Trower
		Robin was in the audience during a performance by Jimi Hendrix those many years back, and he readily admits that the Experience changed his approach to the guitar.
		Robin is known for his incredible talent as a guitar player and his inspirational style of soloing, coaxing sounds from his Strat that seem to emanate from beyond this world.
		Robin's body and facial expressions display clearly where his heart and soul are during the performance - deeply intertwined with his instrument of choice, the Fender Stratocaster (Registered Tradename/Trademark of Fender).

		Trower: I think a lot of it is on the volume control.....of the guitar....and the strength of the picking....you know how hard you hit the strings.
		Trower: I think it does....it does you know...if you feel people getting on about what you are doing.
		Trower: No..not at all, I've always been the first to admit that he was a very big influence...especially on my early stuff....you know.

		Trower retained as bassist the late James Dewar, who then took on lead vocals as well, and recruited drummer Reg Isidore (later replaced by Bill Lordan) to form the Robin Trower Band in 1973.

		Some critics have been dismissive of the guitar gifts and musicianship of Robin Trower [born 1945-] because his influences [Jimi Hendrix] are so upfront.
		This criticism ignores the fact that Trower was a contemporary of Hendrix and was bound to be influenced by him, as was every other guitarist of the time.
		Trower's most successful trio lineup of James Dewar [1942-2002] on bass and vocals, with Bill Lordon on drums is well represented here.

		Robin Trower: "Our first kick was when the Stones heard us; they dug our music, which was somewhat similar to their own, and they introduced us to their gig circuit, which they were in the process of leaving to do cinema tours and things like that.
		Initially, Trower did not contribute much to the songwriting duties, but his input grew until ultimately he was writing about three songs per album.
		Trower stayed until 1971, but during the last couple of years, his trademark style and sound began to emerge in earnest.

		Judging from ticket sales for the current tour, Robin Trower's longtime manager, Derek Sutton, believes the guitarist has crossed the line from has-been to legend.
		With an extensive repertoire of classic hits and album-oriented rock to his credit, Robin Trower is one of very few authentic '60s and '70s blues-rock guitar heroes still keeping it alive today.
		This fascinating 13-song performance was recorded by the famous WDR Rockpalast on Robin Trower's 60th birthday, March 3rd 2005 at the Crossroads Festival in Germany.

	Robin Trower \| CHOM
		Throughout his long and winding solo career, guitarist Robin Trower has had to endure countless comparisons to Jimi Hendrix, due to his uncanny ability to channel Hendrix's bluesy/psychedelic, Fender Strat-fueled playing style.
		Born on March 9, 1945, in Catford, England, Trower spent the early '60s playing guitar in various London based outfits; the most successful one being the R&B group The Paramounts, who specialized mostly in covers, but managed to issue several singles between 1963 and 1965.
		Brooker was previously a bandmate of Trower's in The Paramounts, and offered the guitar slot in his new fast-rising project to his old friend.

		Trower certainly was very much influenced by Hendrix; he loved throwing atonal fireworks into his blues-based rock, as all 16 tracks here demonstrate.
		Robin Trower broke away from Procol Harum after he fell under the influence of Jimi Hendrix.
		I like Robin Trower b/c there is a certain nostalgic aspect that appeals to me. I cannot ignore, however, that many of these songs sound alike and the ones without Dewar are quite inferior to the ones with him.

		Trower had a genius for putting together a great ensemble of singers and musicians for his albums and he does this best in Bridge of Sighs.
		The album's legendary status is cemented by the centerpiece "Too Rolling Stoned", the quintessential Trower tune: muscular rock, killer hooks and gritty vocals in the main section followed by the jaw-dropping epic guitar workout (over a driving one-note bass figure) that leaves this listener shaking and the audience whooping.
		Robin Trower, a stellar guitar player, was obviously influenced by Hendrix and you hear it in his tone, solos and the heavenly blues/rock music.

	Robin Trower Interview
		Robin departed the successful British classic rockers, Procol Harum, in the early Seventies when the ideas he was developing in his own mind warranted the decision to start his own band.
		Robin Trower: No, I can't say they ever did because it's obviously a great compliment really.
		The first few Trower albums: 'Twice Removed From Yesterday', 'Bridge Of Sighs', 'For Earth Below', and 'Long Misty Days' possessed extremely creative cover art, and, in a subliminal way, were somewhat suggestive of a common theme of space and volume.

		"Someday Blues" (1997) - Featuring straight-ahead classic blues songs and Robin Trower on vocals for the first time...competent stuff, but the guitar work has a little too much of a sameness about it...not like his earlier work, and not my favorite.
		Trower's classic second album "Bridge of Sighs" is an unquestionable necessity.
		I also like the "Essential Robin Trower" compilation and "King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents: Robin Trower In Concert" (a 1995 release of a 1977 concert).
