Quotes by Robin Trower
Robin Trower's insights on:
To me there’s a definite way of doing a song. If I didn’t think that, I wouldn’t have done it that way in the first place.
I didn’t want to get attached to one guitar; I didn’t want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.
Once I’ve settled on something I’ll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.
I have done some things that I’m very proud of. I don’t think you can say any more than that, really.
I wouldn’t count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.
