Perhaps Trower's most famous album is Bridge of Sighs (1974). This album, along with his first (Twice Removed from Yesterday) and third (For Earth Below) solo albums, was produced by his former Procol Harum band mate, organist Matthew Fisher.
Those who favor electric guitarists who can play live what they record in the studio will be very impressed with the "Robin Trower Live" album - especially the cut "Daydream". While often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower never received the publicity nor same volume of fans.

Robin Trower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rock me baby, honey, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby like my back ain't got no bone
Roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby like you roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me baby
You don't know how it makes me feel
Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow
Yeah, rock me pretty baby, baby rock me slow
Want you to rock me baby till I want no more
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
Rock me baby, honey, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby like my back ain't got no bone
The song "Rock Me Baby" by Robin Trower is a classic blues piece that talks about the desire for a lover's affection and touch. The title "Rock Me Baby" is repeated throughout the song as a way to emphasis the need for a partner's love and attention. The first verse of the song is an invitation to the lover to rock the singer all night long. The second line of this same verse seems to imply that the lover should rock the singer so hard that their back feels like it has no bones. This line may connote that the singer desires to feel so much pleasure from their lover's rock that they cannot feel their body.
The second verse of the song continues with the desire for physical connection, comparing it to the movement of a rolling wagon wheel. The singer wants their lover to roll them like a wagon wheel, which suggests that they want to be moved, rocked and rolled in every possible way. The verse ends with the singer expressing how good it makes them feel to be rolled by their lover. The third and final verse reiterates the desire for physical connection as the singer requests that their lover rock them slowly until they can no longer take it.
Overall, the song "Rock Me Baby" is a very simple blues song that speaks to the universal desire for physical and emotional connection with a lover. The repetition of the song's title and the straightforward lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desire that is universal to the human experience.

Trower is in his seventies now and still plays with the passion of a much younger man.RT has the best live guitar tone of anyone I have ever seen.If you get a chance to see him play live do it.

Can't beat Fulltone, Marshall & hands.

this type of rock sound just isn't around anymore - Robin Trower is a true master in what he does and so was James Dewar and we must not forget about the drummer Bill Lordan
Jiva Daya
Yes, learned the magic of 12/8 in the basement learning to play this thanks to Bill :D
