Robin Trower Interview
Check out this recent interview with guitarist Robin Trower. I've included a few of my favorite excerpts below. Also take a look at our Robin Trower style lessons.
“Albert King is my all-time favorite guitar player,” Trower said. “I listen to a lot his stuff in the car and Howlin’ Wolf is the other guy that I still (listen to) alot.
“Albert King’s playing and Howlin’ Wolf’s music and singing still have a great effect on me. As far as rock and roll goes, Pete Townshend is a giant to me. (Townshend) plays guitar to support the song, and I think he and I have that in common.”
Trower said he also listens to alot of popular music from the 1930s and 1940s.
“I quite like the music of Dinah Washington and Al Bowlly,” Trower said. “I really like early American and British popular music.”

Albert King is a great influence to have and I think he's one of the more underrated guitarists.
I was lucky enough to catch Robin Trower's sold-out show at the Palace Theater in Greensburg, Pa on his recently completed tour of the states. It was my first time seeing him in concert and I was blown away. The performance was solid and the guitar-playing was intense. Another album would be a nice treat, especially if it features Davey Pattison!
