Talking about the propulsive and Bond-like groove of âIâll Be Moving On,â Trower says, âThis is my favourite track on the album,â says Trower. âItâs soulful, has a vibe about it and shows Sari at her very best.â
âIâve worked with some great vocalists over the years, but Sari is dynamite, just an absolute knockout,â reflects Trower. âThis album really pushed me, made me write in different keys and arrange songs for her voice. I went more down the R&B route this time, because I knew sheâd be great with that flavour. But the blues still underpins everything I do â and thereâs definitely elements from my â70s stuff in this new album.â
The New York powerhouse singer Schorr adds, “I’ll Be Moving On” is quite special because it beautifully encapsulates the synergy between Robin and me. This collaboration weaves together blues, rock, and soul in a way that showcases Robin’s unique musical prowess.”Â
The greatest moments in Trowerâs discography have become required listening for any student of rock ânâ roll. Donât bet against the highlights of Joyful Sky joining the canon. They have previously revealed âBurnâ from the album. âBurn is about someone whoâs trying to calm down their partner,â Trower says of the smouldering opener.
For six decades, Robin Trowerâs career has been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitaristâs backstory and youâll find an artist who has always rolled the dice rather than take the path of least resistance. In the early-â70s, Trower announced his fearless streak by leaving the security of Procol Harum for a gold-selling solo career whose ever-present Bridge Of Sighs – album filled the stadiums of North America. Since then, heâs flowed from his own projects to collaborations with everyone from Jack Bruce to the United State Of Mind supergroup alongside Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown. Fast-forward to 2023 and Trowerâs new studio album, Joyful Sky, represents vindication for his latest flash of artistic instinct.
âI was already a fan of Robin, absolutely,â Schorr says. âYou donât want to use the word âgeniusâ casually, but I believe he is a genius. The way he feels and hears music is so acute, itâs like he has superhuman powers. I had so much faith in his vision. You just grab on and hold tight.â
A literal lifetime since he first stepped onto the British blues circuit as a cub gunslinger, that fabled Trower power shows no sign of burning out. In fact, the iconic guitaristâs late-period acceleration is something to behold, sweeping up new fans alongside the hardcore who have followed his every move. âI think this record is more accessible than the stuff Iâve done over the last few years and Iâve got a feeling itâll reach more people,â says Trower of Joyful Sky. âAt my age, to still be doing it, and still turning out good stuff â you really appreciate what a blessing that is.â
Again, the song is exceptional. Thanks for this gift.
I have so loved Robin since about 1975. My first recording of Robin was an 8-track tape. Played it in my Volkswagen Beetle. Lots thought I was strange playing music from someone they’d never heard from. Saw Robin at Capital Center (Wash DC) in 1976 I think it was. My date wanted to leave early for it was too loud. I wanted to stay. Saw more than half his show. I stopped buying albums after Victims of the Fury was released, took absence of Robin but a few years ago started listening to 70s and 80s Trower again. And some more recent stuff. Thanks and cheers.
