British guitarist Robin Trower has revealed the latest live cut, “Too Rolling Stoned,” from his upcoming album One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, which will be released on January 30, 2026, via Artone/Provogue. Check out the video below.
“Those songs have to be in there, because they’re the audience’s favorites,” he says of these roaring renditions of “Too Rolling Stoned,” and the previously released live version of “Day of the Eagle.” “That album is still a very powerful piece of music.”
In the summer of 2025 and riding high on the acclaim for his latest solo album, Come And Find Me, the guitarist crossed the Atlantic for a 25-date run in the nation that has welcomed him since the start.
Almost 60 years have passed since Trower first performed in the Land Of The Free, but as a British gunslinger raised under slate-grey South London skies, he still remembers the culture shock. “I first came here with Procol Harum in the late 60s. Back then, it was a different world,” he says.
Slinging his signature Fender Stratocaster, moving the air with 50-watt Marshall stacks and drawing on his full array of Fulltone pedals (try the wah masterclass on opener “The Razor’s Edge”), Trower is very much running the show. But as the veteran bandleader acknowledges, the flying sparks on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA are down to the chemistry between his trusty power-trio: a three-headed beast that moves as one through the set’s shifting dynamics and time signatures.
“I prefer this format because I have more freedom,” he explains. “In a three-piece, everybody is trying to make up for the missing instrument. We’ve got Richard Watts on bass and vocals: a wonderful voice, great musician. Then there’s Chris Taggart on drums, another fantastic musician. I’m very fortunate to play with guys of this calibre. We’ve been working together now for a good ten years. They have to watch me a bit, because obviously I’m leading and they have to follow – but they do a brilliant job.”
One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, then, is a document of Robin Trower in full flight, just as powerful when experienced through your home speakers as it was for the fans on the front row. “At the very least, you want the audience to be feeling entertained by the end of the show,” he considers. “But I’d really like them to walk out feeling elated. I want them to get something emotionally out of this as well…”
