Robin Trower's stretch in Procol Harum was like putting a polar bear in the Sahara Desert. While Procol was dabbling in classical forms with droning organs and mystical lyrics, Robin was diving into the mystique of Jimi Hendrix and writing moving ballads like "Song For A Dreamer." Although the band was primarily centered around Gary Brooker's voice and piano, the guitar was oftentimes the main point of appeal, and indeed on Broken Barricades, Robin's Stratocaster dominated all eight tracks.
