Coming Closer To The Day

Description

For Robin Trower, the next new song is always there at his fingertips. It has now been five decades that the valiant British bluesman has been composing with his Fender Stratocaster guitar and his Marshall amp for our greatest pleasure. "The songs come when I start playing the guitar." While the majority of his peers recycle their old hits or are retired, Trower at 73 is a legend of the sixties still in great shape with a renewed creativity: 3 excellent new 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 musicianship remain intact and seem more alive than ever, even if the album's 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 left tomorrow, I would feel blessed to have achieved so many things as a musician!"
