About Me |
|
Made with the MyTheme myspace editor Robin Trower is indeed one of the great guitar soloists in rock and roll. In his heyday of the early- and mid-1970s, Trower garnered the same esteem and prestige as the great players of the time: Page, Townsend, May, Beck and the lot. Although he never reached the same pinnacle of fame as many of his peers, Trower still forged a respectable body of work and won the devotion of a sizeable number of rock fans. The thing that sets him apart is his unique style and guitar sound. To many, Trower's playing seems greatly influenced by Jimi Hendrix, but this is much too simplistic an anlaysis. Although he was inspired by 'Drix's approach, Trower's mix of blues, psychedelica and sheer power was largely his own creation. In fact, Trower only once saw Hendrix live, and was more impressed with his passion for music than his particular style of playing. The mainstay of Trower's magic has always been his Fender Stratocaster. He is a dedicated Strat diehard who has rarely used another guitar (he was introduced to the Fender in the late 60s by Martin Barre of Jethro Tull fame). The wide tonal sweep of the Strat allows Trower to range from a punchy, piercing bite to a throaty growl, while maintaining a clear precise sound. Born on March 9, 1945 in London, England, Trower's career has spanned more than three decades. In his early playing days, from 1962 to 1966, he formed various bands in London and dabbled in minor chart success. Later, in 1967, he joined Procol Harum where he remained until 1972. Then, in 1973 he went solo. He 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. To this day, he still makes records (or CDs if you will) and retains a loyal legion of admirers. Mostly, he is thought of as one of the powerhouse players of the golden age of hard rock.The saddest and most important for us all is the passing away of James Dewar on May 16, 2002. Our condolences and shared sadness go out to all who knew or admired this great man. He will be remembered and regarded one of the finest singers in rock and roll history......................................... .. .. .. Photo compliments of Josh Collier, A FAN AND THE FUTURE!!.. |
