For five decades, the iconic British bluesman has written the same way. The valves glow in his Marshall amplifier. Those fabled hands roam the neck of his Fender Stratocaster. Then the music starts to flow raw and real, played with fire and skill, untainted by commercial aspirations, accompanied by lyrics that get to the guts of the matter. The songs always come when Im playing the guitar, explains Trower of his creative process. Everything starts from thereSo too began Trowers latest studio album, Coming Closer To The Day. Its rare to find a 60s legend still on trailblazing form in their eighth decade. But while Trowers peers recycle the old hits or retreat from view, the 73yearold guitarist finds himself in a golden latebloom of creativity. Even at this career pinnacle, Trower admits he just cant stop. And with Coming Closer To The Day, his songcraft and soulful performances have never sounded more alive even on an album whose title track acknowledges that life is short and time precious. Im saying that Im nearer the end than the beginning, he explains. But that doesnt scare me. Not at all. If I went tomorrow, Id feel like Id been blessed with being able to achieve an incredible amount as a musician.
