Info for One Moment In Time - Live In The USA

The award-winning British blues icon Robin Trower will release his breathtaking new album "One Moment In Time: Live In The USA". Listen to the blistering first taste on Day of the Eagle.

For Robin Trower, stage and studio are two sides of the same coin. If you’ve followed his six-decade career, you’ll know every song on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA – starting with Day of the Eagle, the opening song to his 1974 masterpiece Bridge of Sighs.

In the summer of 2025 and riding high on the acclaim for his latest solo album, Come And Find Me (“Trower is to be treasured,” wrote Classic Rock), the guitarist crossed the Atlantic for a 25-date run in the nation that has welcomed him since the start. Almost 60 years have passed since Trower first performed in the Land Of The Free, but as a British gunslinger raised under slate-grey South London skies, he still remembers the culture shock. “I first came here with Procol Harum in the late-Sixties. Back then, it was a different world,” he says.

A lifetime later, with sound engineer James Kane rolling tape at multiple venues on the tour, it fell to Trower to decide which performances would be immortalised for One Moment In Time: Live In The USA. Every show was cooking, but after countless hours of intense study, Trower honed in on the material caught at the Music Box At The Borgata, Atlantic City, New Jersey (14 June) and the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, New Hampshire (24 June). “The new album is the best take of each song from those two nights,” he explains. “It’s about the performance but also down to the sound quality. You have to choose carefully – I did a lot of listening.”

The 14-song setlist represents a whistlestop guide to Trower’s fabled career, the bluesman striking a keen balance of all-time classics and new songs that reflect where he stands as an artist in modern times. You’ll find no fewer than four songs from 1974’s gold-selling masterpiece, Bridge Of Sighs, still universally hailed amongst the greatest albums from the golden era of blues-rock. “Those songs have to be in there, because they’re the audience’s favourites,” he says of these roaring renditions of Too Rolling Stoned, Day Of The Eagle, Little Bit Of Sympathy and Bridge Of Sighs’ title track. “That album is still a compelling piece of music.”

Other old favourites include Daydream (from 1973’s solo debut, Twice Removed From Yesterday) and Somebody Calling (from 1977’s In City Dreams). Elsewhere, Trower plays the aces up his sleeve with surprise airings of Rise Up Like The Sun (from 1994’s 20th Century Blues) and Distant Places Of The Heart (from his 2007 collaboration with the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Seven Moons).

Trower is no heritage artist, and the cheers are just as loud for the four songs from 2022’s No More Worlds To Conquer, not to mention his stalking take on One Go Round (from Come And Find Me).

But as the veteran bandleader acknowledges, the flying sparks on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA are down to the chemistry between his trusty power-trio: a three-headed beast that moves as one through the set’s shifting dynamics and time signatures, with Richard Watts on bass and vocals and Chris Taggart on drums.

One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, then, is a document of Robin Trower in full flight, just as powerful when experienced through your home speakers as it was for the fans on the front row. “At the very least, you want the audience to be feeling entertained by the end of the show,” he considers. “But I’d really like them to walk out feeling elated. I want them to get something emotionally out of this as well…”

Robin Trower
has been heralded as one of the most influential Guitar players to come out of the British Blues Rock scene. Though other names may come to mind, none have the "signature sound and style" of the man who was tagged by the press with the nickname of "The White Hendrix" back in the 70's. Robin was in the audience during a performance by Jimi Hendrix those many years back, and he readily admits that the Experience changed his approach to the guitar. It is obvious to anyone who ever listened to Robin's music that he has taken the ethereal sound that Jimi first introduced to the world, and created his own unique way of expressing himself through the guitar. The result is a unique style of music all his own - NOT an imitation of Jimi at all, and a career of considerable merit.

Robin is known for his incredible talent as a guitar player and his inspirational style of soloing, coaxing sounds from his Strat that seem to emanate from beyond this world. To be among those who have experienced Robin performing live is to be forever changed by this masterful Artist as he takes you along with him on one musical masterpiece after another.

Born March 9, 1945, Robin has played guitar professionally since his teen years. During the early stages of his career, he was part of another famous "Supergroup" called Procol Harum. Robin left Procol Harum after the release of their 5th Album, "Broken Barricades" and struck out on his own with James Dewar (formerly of Stone The Crows) on Bass & Vocals and Reg Isadore on Drums. The release of his debut Album in 1973, Twice Removed From Yesterday on Chrysalis Records, heralded the beginning of a career that has spanned four decades and continues vibrantly to this day.

The "Robin Trower Band" lineup changed drummers between the 1st and 2nd albums. For "Bridge Of Sighs", the second release and the one that shot Robin's career into the stratosphere, Reg Isadore was replaced by ex Sly & The Family Stone drummer Bill Lordan, who himself once played with Jimi Hendrix! This line-up remained basically unchanged through 6 more albums, with the addition of Rustee Allen on Bass (also from Sly Stone's band) for "In City Dreams", "Caravan To Midnight" and "Victims Of The Fury", Robin's 6th, 7th and 8th Albums respectively.

All total, Robin has released more than 23 albums during his career, and shows no signs of slowing down. The latest addition to Robin's impressive body of work is "Another Days Blues" released on V-12 Records in 2005 (Robin Trower's own label) It is a stellar addition to his prolific and impressive catalogue and continues the legacy of this unique Artist.

Around the time of the release of one of his most critically acclaimed albums, "Bridge Of Sighs", and for many years following, Robin was touring arenas around the world! Often described as a "... shy and refined gentleman..." off-stage, Robin's presence on-stage is remarkably powerful. Not given to "stage theatrics", his virtuoso ability to impart emotions through song lyrics and highly charged guitar playing is hypnotic. Robin's body and facial expressions display clearly where his heart and soul are during the performance - deeply intertwined with his instrument of choice, the Fender Stratocaster (Registered Tradename/Trademark of Fender). His chording and soloing style have mesmerized fans and confounded guitar players for years, and will continue to be a source of inspiration for anyone who wants to play the guitar.

While Robin plays his Signature Strat with passionate abandon, Davey Pattison, formerly of GAMMA, SUMMIT and 2 great solo albums; "Mississippi Nights" and "Pictures", adds his considerable vocal talents and energetically fronts the band interacting with the audience, bringing the songs to life and interpreting the lyrics better than anyone since the late great James Dewar, who will be forever missed. Davey has been part of many of Robin's albums and performances since the mid 1980's. Robin and Davey, along with Dave Bronze on Bass & Backing Vocals and Pete Thompson on Drums, comprise a band of true power and vibrant musicianship! This current line-up has contributed to more than a few of Robin's BEST Albums to date, including Passion, Take What You Need, Go My Way and Living Out Of Time, among others! What we have here is a band of highly talented musicians, each incredibly accomplished in their own right, surrounding a musical legend who has been instrumental in creating and perpetuating a musical genre that has touched many lives. Robin Trower, the performer and musical Artist, has made each of his recorded works an incredibly fulfilling and satisfying experience! ...
