Blues and roots rocker Trevor B. Power has been a fixture in and around the music industry for decades. His latest album, the rootsy and introspective 'Two Crows', marks his fourth release since his well-received 2019 debut, 'Everyday Angel'.
Power’s sound is an authentic blend of roots and blues. Deep and effortlessly cool. His vocal growl channels the spirit of classic rock 1970’s era.
‘Two Crows’ captures the attention of the listener immediately. ‘Bobby Lane’ opens the curtain for the blues rock stomp of ‘Let It Ride’, weaving character into every note. ‘Ain’t Got No Bread’ arrives with a howling harmonica courtesy of English Bluesman, Will Wylde.
Partially inspired by grief, Power channelled the loss of his older brother John, his musical catalyst, and close friend Bobby Whitlock, the Derek and the Dominos keyboardist into the album.
Today, Trevor speaks of them with peaceful acceptance: “We’re all going to leave this form someday. So let’s make the best of it.”
Timely and in recognition of unsettling events at home and abroad songs ‘Puddles of Blood’, and ‘The Fire Burns’ both reflect on human violence, questioning why bloodshed must always precede peace and highlighting the fact that hatred cuts short the lives of those who are already struggling to get by.
Yet, ‘Two Crows’ is far from downbeat. Across the ten self-produced tracks, Power bombards the listener with melodic infectious music. ‘Horizon’ captures a driving energy that’s complete with melodic flute and a soaring lead guitar, that sounds like it has been lifted from 1960’s British pop music.
‘Two Crows’ is a mature, serious, and superb record.
