![]() GILBERT Is that much different than what you were doing in the earlyĭays with the Robin Trower Group [ with bassist/vocalist James Dewar All we had to do was find a drummer and then record them. We had a good formation in our minds of how those pieces went. And Seven Moons, the album I just recorded with Jack Bruce, we didn’t rehearse at all, but we spent time, he and I, writing songs together, so that’s a kind of rehearsal. ROBIN TROWER With Living out of Time, I think we rehearsed five days before going into the studio. ![]() But on all those albums, throughout your career, how much rehearsal and preparation have you done before hitting the studio? I really got the feeling that, Wow, Robin Trower is back with that record. It really had a youthful power and energy to it. And I especially loved Living Out of Time. PAUL GILBERT Growing up, the records I had of yours were Bridge of Sighs, the live albums and Victims of the Fury. In this unique interview, Gilbert finds out what makes his hero tick and demonstrates that even heroes have their heroes. Trower’s newest album is Seven Moons, a collaboration with legendary Cream bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce. “His 2003 album, Living Out of Time, is sonic proof that Robin retains all the fire of his classic Seventies releases,” he says. In particular, Bridge of Sighs, his 1974 release, was a stunning effort that featured his incendiary Hendrix-inspired playing on cuts like “Too Rolling Stoned,” “Little Bit of Sympathy” and “Day of the Eagle.”Īs Gilbert notes, Trower’s talent has continued to grow. As it happened, we were already planning to interview Trower, and so we were only too glad to grant him his wish.Ĭertainly, Trower made his mark as a potent electric guitarist throughout the Seventies and beyond. ![]() So when Gilbert learned Trower was coming to Los Angeles for a performance, he called Guitar World with a special request: Would we like him to interview Trower for a feature in our magazine. ![]()
