Robin Trower : Bridge Of Sighs


 Robin Leonard Trower

 (Born March 9 1945)

 is an English 

rock guitarist

 and producer

 who achieved success 

with 

Procol Harum

 from 1967 until 1971 

and as the 

bandleader

 of his

 own power trio 

known as

 the Robin Trower Band.

Although Procol Harum

was primarily known

as a

progressive rock band, 

Trower himself is known

for his blues-infused 

guitar playing, 

which critics have

 frequently compared to 

that of Jimi Hendrix, 

whom he has cited 

as an influence.

As a solo artist, 

Trower released 

four consecutive 

gold-certified albums

from 1974 to 1977

that charted well

in the US 

and Canada, 

but in the 1980s

 his career faltered. 

He briefly returned to 

Procol Harum

for their

 1991 reunion album, 

The Prodigal Stranger

but left again

to resume his 

solo career. 

His most recent 

solo album, 

Come and Find Me

was released

in 2025


Bridge of Sighs

 is the second

 solo album

by guitarist 

and songwriter

Robin Trower

Released in 1974,

it was his second album 

after leaving

Procol Harum

and was a 

commercial breakthrough

for Trower. 

Songs such as 

"Bridge of Sighs",

"Too Rolling Stoned",

"Day of the Eagle" 

and

 "Little Bit of Sympathy" 

became

 live concert staples.
