JOYFUL SKY

Description

When Procol Harum’s former guitarist meets one of the most beautiful voices in Blues! For six decades, Robin Trower’s career has been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitarist’s history and you'll find an artist who has always thrown the dice rather than taking the path of least resistance. His new studio album, Joyful Sky, confirms his artistic instinct. Always receptive to vocalists who can elevate his emotive guitar touch, the 78-year-old perceived in the smoky power of renowned New Yorker Sari Schorr a quality that made him want to deconstruct and rebuild his songwriting around her. "I've worked with some great female singers over the years, but Sari is dynamite, a real powerhouse," Trower recalls. "This album really pushed me to write in different keys and arrange the songs to suit her voice. I leaned more towards R&B this time, as I knew she would be perfect in that style. But the blues is always at the core of everything I do – and there are definitely elements of my 70s songs in this new album." Proof that the Brit is still here, and hopefully for a long time to come!!! Sari Schorr was a long-time backing vocalist for Joe Louis Walker and Popa Chubby before forming a band with Innes Sibun, Robert Plant's guitarist. With a voice like Beth Hart's, Sari elevates blues rock!
