‘Too Rolling Stoned’ (Live) is the second single released by Robin Trower ahead of his breathtaking new album One Moment In Time: Live In The USA on 30 January via Artone/Provogue. The live single is out now on all streaming services, and fans can pre-order the album from Robin’s website, alongside his complete catalogue.
The 14-song setlist (below) represents a whistlestop guide to Robins fabled career, the bluesman striking a keen balance of all-time classics and new songs that reflect where he stands as an artist in modern times. You’ll find no fewer than four songs from 1974’s gold-selling masterpiece, Bridge Of Sighs, still universally hailed amongst the greatest albums from the golden era of blues-rock.
“Those songs have to be in there, because they’re the audience’s favourites,” Robin says of these roaring renditions of Too Rolling Stoned, Day Of The Eagle, Little Bit Of Sympathy and Bridge Of Sighs‘ title track. “That album is still a compelling piece of music.”
Other old favourites include Daydream (from 1973’s solo debut, Twice Removed From Yesterday) and Somebody Calling (from 1977’s In City Dreams). Elsewhere, Trower plays the aces up his sleeve with surprise airings of Rise Up Like The Sun (from 1994’s 20th Century Blues) and Distant Places Of The Heart (from his 2007 collaboration with the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Seven Moons).
Robin acknowledges the flying sparks on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA are down to the chemistry between his trusty power-trio: a three-headed beast that moves as one through the set’s shifting dynamics and time signatures, with Richard Watts on bass and vocals and Chris Taggart on drums.
