I play guitar and participated in several garage bands that had a few gigs in some bars... nothing serious. But, when guitar players get together, the topic always turns to, "the best guitar player." There are lots of differing opinions, and many subjective lists have been posted on the Internet (jazz, rock, country) but, the same names always appear. One name that's always missing is Robin Trower.
Born on March 9, 1945, in Catford, England, (he's now 61) Robin Trower played in lots of bands including Procol Harum (A Whiter Shade of Pale) before eventually starting his own, which sometimes was the opening act for the Rolling Stones.
I picked up a copy of his Living Out of Time DVD and I was pleasantly surprised that he played (and sounded) just the same as he did when I first discovered him.
