One of the best guitarists to come out of the UK, Robin Trower gained popularity in Procol Harum (til 71), but especially on his solo career, with a band with his name. His style is ever compared to Hendrix, but it is actually unfair to a composer and player of his talent to live in the shadow of other player, even if we're talking about Hendrix! wWe're talking about a man that gave lessons to Robert Fripp!
To my surprise, I found out recently that the man continues to make music! He has actually published regularly. His last album is from 2010, and it's not bad at all!
What stroke me watching the second video I'm posting is his age. He was born in 45, so he will be 68 this year... This is something new, the longevity of rock musicians. We were used to singers getting old - and singing till they die - but not to see those free and long haired spirits of the 60's and 70's rocking their asses out but looking like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons... It's weird! But I'm glad that so many of them are still making music and playing live.
