Check this one out, an unexpected new collaboration with Maxi Priest. Unexpected and pretty good. It's got that mix of strings and blues restaint like some of those classic early 70s tracks by BB King or Bobby Womack.

In my mind, I'm kinda loving the idea of a 75 year old Robin Trower calling up his pals to 'check out my new band dudes'. That "Are We Just People" track is good too. Production is really lush.

Trower's got a new album out this week, with a female singer, Sari Schorr, on the whole thing. It's called Joyful Sky, which is weirdly optimistic for him: his last two were called Coming Closer to the Day and No More Worlds to Conquer. Anyway, I'm listening to it now and it's really good if you like what he does. Schorr's voice suits the material.

I saw Robin Trower played his first gigs in like 4 years last week or so ago.
It's been almost 20 years since I saw him play with Davey Pattinson, but he was great. At least as a few years ago, he could play as well as ever.
I was listening to the records Trower did with Jack Bruce quite a few times this past winter. That was a good pairing.
