After leaving Procol Harum, Trower's solo career began with 1973's Twice Removed from Yesterday and exploded with the following year's Top Ten Bridge of Sighs, kicking off a run of ten Top 200 outings. While Trower's phrasing and harmonic approach are his own, he readily admits that his custom-built Fender Stratocaster, fluid effects, and Marshall stack directly follow Hendrix's psych-blues example. Throughout a long, winding career, English blues-rock guitarist and songwriter Robin Trower has built a dedicated global fan base while being endlessly (and unfairly) compared by critics to his peer Jimi Hendrix.
