Robin Trower On His New Album “No More Worlds To Conquer,” Future Projects, Van Halen & More
For more than 6 decades, Robin Trower’s career has known no bounds. At the age of 76, the British guitarist can reflect on a journey in which he has planted flags across the musical sphere and played every role imaginable. He has been the driving force behind 1960s musical icons Procol Harum, the transatlantic solo star who filled U.S. stadiums with 1974’s Bridge Of Sighs and remains an in-demand collaborator, an occasional supergroup member, and songwriter who still crackles with invention.
Last week, Robin Trower released “The Razor’s Edge,” the second single from his new studio album No More Worlds To Conquer. No More Worlds To Conquer is due out on April 29, 2022 via Mascot Label Group subsidiary Provogue and features what Trower has called “some of my favorite guitar work I’ve played on a recording in a long time.” While the title of the album says a lot, Trower insisted in a prepared statement that it should not be misinterpreted as having accomplished all goals: “I definitely feel like I’m still reaching, with the guitar, and the songs, and everything else.”
On March 31, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with Robin Trower via phone, as embedded below in audio form. Beyond No More Worlds To Conquer, we talked about future goals as an artist, whether or not he ever heard Van Halen cover of “The Fool And Me,” whether he plans to tour again and how he makes his albums.
