One Fantastic guitar player not to be missed !
Trower’s, Live B.B.C.,recording is as close to being in the front row as a recording can be.
His facial expressions when playing are something to behold.
Too bad that his blue-eyed soul singer from Scotland, James Dewar, ultimately died from a bollixed brain surgery, leading to his early death.
You can thank U.K.’s, socialized medicine for that .
Anyone believing that Trower, imitated Jimi Hendrix, hasn’t listed to Elmore James, at all.
Hendrix, copied more of Elmore’s licks, than Trower, did of Jimi’s.
