Robin Trower - Come and Find Me [140G]

Even now, as he reaches his eighth decade, with a lifetime of accolades and a seminal body of music behind him, Robin Trower is still chasing the biggest high he knows. It always starts the same way, with a road-scuffed Fender Stratocaster and a revved-up Marshall amplifier, those skilful fingers exploring the fretboard until a riff sticks and a new song ignites. And from the cultural flashpoint of Sixties London with Procol Harum, through 1974's stadium filling Bridge Of Sighs, right up to this year's acclaimed Come And Find Me, it's these addictive moments of creation that have kept the guitarist vital, relevant and contemporary while his peers trade on past glories. "Some people say I'm driven, but I think it's just the love of doing it," reflects Trower of a multi-million-selling solo catalogue fast approaching thirty releases (and that's before you compute his collaborations with everyone from Jack Bruce to Bryan Ferry). "I play guitar every day and just through messing around, ideas happen. I can never feel the songs coming. But all of a sudden, you get a sliver of an idea and you think, 'Oh, what's this?'"
