Robin Trower Releases Live Album Capturing American Tour Magic
Award-winning British blues icon Robin Trower will release his new album “One Moment In Time: Live In The USA” on 30 January via Artone/Provogue. For Robin Trower, the stage and studio represent two sides of the same coin. Fans who have followed his six-decade career will recognise every song on “One Moment In Time: Live In The USA”, starting with “Day of the Eagle”, the opening track from his 1974 masterpiece “Bridge of Sighs”.
In the summer of 2025, riding high on acclaim for his latest solo album “Come And Find Me”, the guitarist crossed the Atlantic for a 25-date run across America. This nation has welcomed him since the beginning of his career. The tour captured the veteran bluesman at the peak of his powers, delivering performances that reminded audiences why he remains one of the most respected guitarists in rock history.
The 14-song setlist offers a journey through Trower’s legendary career, with the bluesman striking a careful balance between all-time classics and newer material that showcases his standing as an artist today. This approach allows longtime fans to relive the songs that defined their youth while introducing newer listeners to the depth of Trower’s catalogue.
The album features four songs from 1974’s gold-selling masterpiece “Bridge Of Sighs”, an album still universally regarded as one of the greatest from the golden era of blues-rock. These tracks have lost none of their power over the decades, with Trower’s distinctive tone and phrasing sounding as vital as ever. His ability to coax emotion from every note remains undiminished, proving that great artistry only deepens with time.
Throughout his career, Trower has maintained a dedicated following on both sides of the Atlantic. His American tours have become regular pilgrimages for blues-rock enthusiasts, who appreciate his commitment to musical integrity and his refusal to rest on past glories. “One Moment In Time: Live In The USA” documents this special relationship between artist and audience, capturing the energy and passion that defines a Robin Trower concert.
The live setting allows Trower’s guitar work to breathe and develop in ways that studio recordings sometimes cannot. His extended solos and improvisational flourishes give familiar songs new dimensions, while his backing band provides a solid foundation that allows the guitarist’s vision to fully express itself. This is blues-rock played by masters of the form, with decades of experience evident in every performance.
For those who have never experienced Trower live, this album serves as an excellent introduction to his concert artistry. For longtime fans, it stands as another worthy addition to a catalogue that spans generations and continues to inspire guitarists around the world.
