Robin Trower-Twice Removed From Yesterday (1973)

In the early 1970s, Robin Trower left Procol Harum and founded the band Jude, which had little media impact. After its dissolution, he decided to pursue a solo career, surrounding himself with drummer Reg Isidore and singer/bassist James Dewar to record his first and impressive album, "Twice Removed From Yesterday", released in 1973 on the British label Chrysalis. Replete with energetic blues-rock tracks showcasing Trower's powerful guitar work he was considered the "white Hendrix" at the time this album is a succession of masterful compositions, including the rock anthem "I Can't Stand It", the refined and tranquil "Daydream", the hypnotic and powerful "I Can't Wait Much Longer", the psychedelic blues "Hannah", the boogie-rock "Rock Me Baby", and the tender "Ballerina".
