August 2, 2025

Upon Robin Trower's departure from Procol Harum in 1971, he initiated his solo career with Twice Removed From Yesterday (Chrysalis, 1973). It was an understated debut to be sure, the entire first side virtually a suite of dream-like tracks such as the fervent “I Can't Wait Much Longer." The guitarist's debt to Jimi Hendrix was only slightly more obvious there than on his direct homage to the iconic guitar hero, “Song For A Dreamer," recorded with his prior band.
