Robin Trower-Caravan To Midnight (1978)

By 1978, Robin Trower was firmly established as one of the great guitarists of hard rock and blues, having already released a series of high-quality albums that went gold and platinum, including "Twice Removed From Yesterday", "Bridge of Sighs", "For Earth Below", and "Long Misty Days", all of which garnered favorable reviews and strong sales. Following the release of "Long Misty Days", Trower made changes to his band, bringing in bassist Rustee Allen and freeing James Dewar from that role to focus on vocals. In 1978, Robin Trower released his sixth album, "Caravan to Midnight", which featured percussionist Paulinho da Costa. While not reaching the heights of his earlier work on "Caravan to Midnight", Robin once again delivers a series of high-quality tracks showcasing his brilliant guitar skills, as demonstrated in the catchy "My Love (Burning Love)" and the hypnotic blues "Caravan to Midnight". Other cuts, such as the rhythmic "I'm Out to Get You", the addictive blues-rock "King of the Dance", and the ethereal "Sail On", confirmed his status as the phenomenal guitarist who came to be unanimously dubbed the "white Jimi Hendrix" by the press.
