In addition to ceaseless touring, he has dropped nearly two dozen studio and live albums since the ’80s he’s also collaborated with Cream founder Jack Bruce and Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry. Showcasing blues rock rich in atmosphere and nuance, their six-record run from 1974’s Bridge of Sighs to 1980’s Victims of the Fury earned them a cult-like fanbase. He left in 1971 and formed the Robin Trower Band two years later.
Their mix of psychedelia and early prog rock helped spread the word of his guitar prowess. Born in London in 1945, Trower cut his teeth with The Paramounts-who logged sweaty hours in the same clubs as The Rolling Stones-before joining Procol Harum in 1967. Though he was one of the great players carrying the torch for post-Jimi Hendrix rock guitar, Robin Trower began his career nearly at the same time as his hero.
