Tom Dee: One of my favourite albums from the Seventies. Record company interest in the band was strong and they soon signed to Chrysalis, and shortly afterwards, in March 1973, the Robin Trower Band (although the records were released under just Trower’s name) released Twice Removed From Yesterday. Trower regards that meeting as being “probably the luckiest day in my life”.ĭeciding to form a three-piece and make the sound more guitar-oriented, alongside Dewar, Trower brought in drummer Reg Isadore. Although nothing came of this collaboration, it was through Miller that Trower was introduced to former Stone The Crows bassist/vocalist Jimmy Dewar.
The first band he formed after his departure from Procol was Jude, which featured powerhouse Scots singer Frankie Miller. And there wasn’t room for that in Procol Harum.” “ Songs For A Dreamer seemed to open the floodgates, and I started writing more and more for the guitar.
Getting properly acquainted with Hendrix’s music had a life-changing effect on Trower, convincing him that it was time to move on.
