Robin said of the collaboration: “I’ve worked with some great vocalists over the years, but working with Sari Schorr and her expressive vocal range has inspired me to write a new album just for her voice.”
The single ‘Burn’ will be out August 18th 2023. You can pre-save the single here:
Twice Removed From Yesterday is Robin Trowerâs first solo album after leaving Procol Harum in 1971 and hooking up with Frankie Miller in the band Jude.
Featuring ex-Stone The Crows bassist/ vocalist James Dewar and Reg Isidore on drums, it was originally released in March 1973 and heralded the beginning of this legendary power trio, paving the way for Robin to be the deserved guitar hero that he is. A mix of hard bluesy rock, the album contains nuggets of genius throughout, none more so than on the title track, I Canât Wait Much Longer, and Daydream amongst others.
This new deluxe version is housed in a gatefold sleeve and is remastered for 2023. It features 3 unreleased versions of album tracks, the B side of the âMan Of The Worldâ single (Take A Fast Train) and 4 BBC John Peel sessions.

An article featuring some classic tracks and a recent interview for ‘Coming Closer to the Day’
“Between his organically thick sustaining guitar tone and ear-catching note selection, Robin Trower is one of a few guitarists whose signature can be identified within a few seconds of hearing him play.
Heâs never been one to follow the obvious route in his soloing, choosing to energize his blues phrases with unexpected twists and an emotive quality that wrings the most from every single note.”
Robin Trower released a new video for ‘Birdsong’ on Wed 5th October. Robin said: âBirdsongâ is my favourite track from ‘No More Worlds to Conquer’ (Mascot 2022). In fact, I think it could be the best thing Iâve ever done. In my eyes, I just canât find fault with it.
âI had this particular piece of music for a while. The guitar parts and a melody for the vocals were there, but the song didnât really come together ’till I saw a documentary about the First World War. It really struck me and got in my head. After I watched it, I started to write lyrics, and thatâs what tied everything together.
âI donât really do big demos anymore; I just play and sing into a little recorder. So with that, we went into the studio, and my engineer, Sam, put down a drum rhythm, and I laid down the guitar. We kind of make the demo as we record the song. Then we lay down all the guitar parts and the bass, and Richard Watts comes in to do the vocals. He did a great job on this track.
