Biography

Robin Trower (born March 9, 1945 in Catford, England) is a who achieved success with Procol Harum during the 1960’s, and then again as the leader of his own power trio.

Perhaps Trower’s most famous album is Bridge Of Sighs (1974). This album, along with his first (Twice Removed From Yesterday) and third (For Earth Below) solo albums, was produced by his former Procol Harum band mate, organist Matthew Fisher.

Those who favor electric guitarists who can play live what they record in the studio will be very impressed with the “Robin Trower Live” album - especially the cut “Daydream”. While often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower never received the publicity nor same volume of fans.

    Yeah I agree, really unfortunate that Trower doesn't get a bit more credit these days but he seems to have been eclipsed by the other big names from the '60s-'70s.

    WTG MusicMagic77 Robin Trower is very original. Sounds somewhat like Hendrick's on some songs. He is known as the " Great White Hope". Meaning a lot of people think he is Jimi Hendrick in a White man's body. Only musician to really ever be compared to Hendrick so closely. My opinion, he is the Greatest blues player ever. Better then Jimi H, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Page, and even Stevie Ray.

    Why does Robin have so few listeners? He is part of the guitar godhead of Jimi Hendrix, Alvin Lee, Duane Allman, Jimmy Page and Leslie West!

    I can't believe that he isn't more popular, I own Bridge of Sighs for a while now, but just recently bought The Playful Heart and both are damn awesome. Are his other albums as good as those two? Can someone recommend me some of his records?

    Excellent! Glad to see he's not only still around, but touring, too. I have Trower on vinyl and again on CD. I acquired my taste for his music from listening to my older brother's collection. Mr. Peabody, set the WABAC machine to 1973....

    Looking for some other bands that have that spaced out guitar style on Trower's slower songs. There a couple of Rush songs with that, like By-Tor and La Villa Strangiato. I can't get enough of it, shout me if you can think of anything.
