COMING CLOSER TO THE DAY

Description

The new album from Procol Harum's original guitarist For Robin Trower, the next new song is always at his fingertips. For five decades now, the valiant British bluesman has been composing with his Fender Stratocaster guitar and Marshall amp, much to our delight. "The songs come when I start playing the guitar…" While most of his peers are recycling their old hits or are retired, Trower, at 73, is a sixties legend still in great shape with a surge of creativity: 3 new excellent albums between 2014 and 2017 and tours in the USA. At the pinnacle of his career, Trower admits: "I just can't stop." And with *Coming Closer To The Day*, his songwriting and musical talents remain intact and seem more alive than ever, even if the album title acknowledges that life is short and time is precious! "I say I'm closer to the end than the beginning, but that doesn't scare me at all. If I were to leave tomorrow, I would feel blessed to have accomplished so much as a musician!"
