Robin Trower - Come And Find Me (2025) CD-Rip

"Come And Find Me" was recorded from time to time over the course of twelve months at Studio 91 in Newbury (where all of Thrower's recent solo albums were recorded), and the origin of "Come And Find Me" speaks volumes about the guitarist's late-period dynamics and high standards. The single "A Little Bit of Freedom" begins in a militant style with explosive guitar playing and a bold opening line ("I don't need anyone to think for me"). “I had a strong feeling that bureaucracy and rules really shackle the world,” says Thrower. “Too much bureaucracy, not enough freedom of thought–it makes you feel like you're in a straitjacket.”
In his eighth decade, with a lifetime of awards and outstanding musical experience behind him, Robin Thrower is still striving for the highest achievements he knows. It always starts the same way: with a beat-up expensive Fender Stratocaster and a Marshall amp, those skillful fingers explore the neck until the riff plays and a new song begins. From the cultural life of London in the years when he performed with Procol Harum, to "Bridge Of Sighs" in 1974, which filled all stadiums, to this year's acclaimed "Come And Find Me", it was these exciting creative moments that kept the guitarist alive, relevant and modern, while his colleagues speculated the old glory.
Thrower, who never allowed interviewers to get too deep into his thoughts, once explained that each new album is a snapshot of his situation and worldview at the moment. Thus, "Come And Find Me" is the best way to get to know a guitarist in 2025, and this new album is clearly the work not of an arrogant rock star, but of an active participant in the real world, with its inherent love, hate, hopes and fears. “Musically, it has a strong rhythm and blues flavor, but it's definitely rock and roll,” he explains. “As for the lyrics, I think the world has become much darker in the last ten or twenty years. But there is always hope. There are more good people in the world than there are bad people.
