Hopefully, the Bridge of Sighs Robin Trower page has something for everyone who loves rock and roll, for Trower represents one of the best the genre has to offer. These Web pages contain a wealth of information about the man and his career.
For those who have not been intitiated to his music, you can read the section 'Who Is Robin Trower' for a background on his career.
Once you've visited this section, or if you're already familiar, you can move to the heart of the content - 'The Robin Trower Timeline'. This section chronicles Trower's recording career, including pictures of album and CD covers, and provides a running commentary on the evolution of his music. If you click on any album or CD cover with your mouse, you'll get detailed songlists and writing credits.
Finally, you can take a look at 'The Robin Trower Scrapbook', 'Trower Tidbits', 'Rogue's Gallery of Guitar Greats', 'Classic Rock Links' and 'Classic Rock Albums You Gotta Own'. The Tibits section contains various facts and info about Trower and the people he played with.
Trower comes from a time when guitarists were truly unique: each style different and every player's sound was his own. If you stack the music of, say, Robin Trower, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Pete Townsend against each other, you'll find that while each were powerful musicians with similar backgrounds, no two sounded alike.
That is essentially what this page pays tribute to: a golden age of music where the true power lay in the power to be different. A time when every idea was fresh, new ground was always being broken, and in an age when some of the best rock and roll was made, Trower stood as one of the giants.¶
