NEW VINYL LP ON PROVOGUE 2019

180 GRAM VINYL

For Robin Trower, the next great song is always right there at his fingertips. For five decades, the iconic British bluesman has written the same way. The valves glow in his Marshall amplifier. Those fabled hands roam the neck of his Fender Stratocaster. Then the music starts to flow: raw and real, played with fire and skill, untainted by commercial aspirations, accompanied by lyrics that get to the guts of the matter. So too began Trowers latest studio album. Its rare to find a 60s legend still on trailblazing form in their eighth decade. But while Trowers peers recycle the old hits or retreat from view, the 73-year-old guitarist finds himself in a golden late-bloom of creativity. Even at this career pinnacle, Trower admits he just cant stop. And with ‘Coming Closer To The Day’, his songcraft and soulful performances have never sounded more alive even on an album whose title track acknowledges that life is short and time precious.
