With a mythology that spans from the clubs of Swinging London, through 1974’s gold-selling Bridge Of Sighs and onward into a vital post-millennial solo catalogue, Robin Trower’s place amongst the all-time greats is beyond doubt. Yet while his ’60s peers have long softened into greatest-hits autopilot, this restless artist returns in 2026 with Shine: a powerful, intimate new album where molten guitar solos drive songs urging us to meet the modern world head-on. Listen to the first track, Live Your Time.

Self-producing while handling guitar and bass, the veteran was confident to delegate key duties to his trusty studio band, with drummer Chris Taggard driving the new material, while long-standing vocalist Richard Watts articulates each emotion.

Shine is the latest thrilling evidence of a songwriter who chooses to forge ahead rather than rest on his laurels.
