From In City Dreams (1977). In City Dreams is guitarist and songwriter Robin Trower's fifth solo studio album, released in 1977. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Original 50s Stratocaster through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Robin Trower's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
