TOO ROLLING STONED (Robin Trower)

One of the most famous and beautiful Trower's tunes, recorded on "Bridge Of Sighs" album, with Jim Dewar (bs, vc) and Reg Isadore (dr).
For a rock-blues guitar player, Trower's classic second album "Bridge of Sighs" is an unquestionable necessity.

Robin Trower (London ,1945) is one of the finest guitarists in Rock n' Roll history and has been called the "White" Hendrix due to his uncanny ability to channel Hendrix' bluesy/psychedelic, Fender Strat-fueled playing style.

Robin Trower's career has spanned more than four decades. He spent the early 60's playing guitar in various London based outfits, the most successful one being The Paramount's. It wasn't until 1967 that Robin received his big break when he joined Procol Harum, until 1972.
After leaving Procol Harum, Trower embarked on his solo career and found the success with his powerful guitar style.
His best albums: Twice Removed From Yesterday (1973), Bridge Of Sighs (1974) and Live! (1975).

TOO ROLLING STONED lyrics
Oh a stitch in time, just about saved me
From going through the same old moves
And this cat is nine, He still suffers.
He's going through the same old grooves
But that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey, Givers sing the blues
Too many cooks yeah, spoil such a good thing
I know I laughed out loud but that was then
Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
Always seemed to find was those real good friends
That stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey, The givers sing the blues
Well that stone keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey, The givers sing the blues
A stitch in time, helps to unfold me
Circus starts at eight so don't be late
Please be so kind, not to wake me
I think I'll just sit this one out.

Well I'm too rolling stoned
I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
Like a rolling stone
Just, just, just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
Yeah, too rolling stoned
Oh just like a rolling stone.

To create a Trower's similar sound, I used:
Fender Stratocaster, Peavey classic 50 amp, Morley wha-wha, Proco Turbo Rat and Behringer CS-100 compressor sustainer.

Hope you enjoy my work!!!!!
