    As a citizen of Caledonia (Scotland) I love this track. I saw Robin Trowe rlive after bass player and vocalist Jimmy Dewar (a fellow Scot) had passed away. It was a great concert but I have always wondered how much better it might have been hearing the old band.

      You are correct there are certain guitar players like like trower Stevie Ray are Eddie Van Halen as soon as they hit that first note you know who it is

    Hey La & Che, Caledonia is another word for Scotland. He is expressing how the country makes him feel. I love the "Robin Trowers Band" and funFax: Robin Trower started his career playing with the band "Procol Harum" during the late 60's & early 70's and contributed to the band's first five albums. But I believe, he left and started his own band "Robin Trower Band" in 1973 (If I'm not mistaken) and Trower's album "Bridge of Sighs" an album I believe your familiar with was one of his best critically acclaimed albums. And I've read that his guitar work on the album was largely influenced by Jimmi Hendrix and in turn he became a huge influence on other great guitarists such as Robert Fripp. (I believe Trower actually gave Fripp some guitar lessons). here's another suggestion, if interested. "Robin Trower - Ball of Fire [Official]" (by the channel: Robin Trower) --This song I've suggested is from his highly acclaimed 2022 album called "No More Worlds To Conquer. And I always enjoy rocking with two fellas. Thanks for sharing.

    Big fat tone on the guitar, a bit of an R&B influence in the rhythm section. And those soulful vocals. Robin is still out there playing. I saw him in the 70s and 90s. One of my favorite guitarists.

    Another banger gentleman. Robin is a phenomenal musician. Jimmy is magical this song is one of my favorites. It’s amazing the delivery depth and sound from a 3 piece band. The original drummer was Reg Isidore he was a fantastic percussionist. Great work Che and La saw the Black Pumas on Jimmy Kimmel last night they were pretty damn good. Can’t wait until you get my request for them. No hurry I know you are finishing up with the Song Remains The Same also. Keep up the phenomenal job gentlemen…

    Yes this is a good Trower song have liked from way back. Their is another Caledonia song (might be spelled different) that is an old boogie or rhythm & blues style that feature such lyrics as : “Caledonia,Caledonia, what makes your big head so hard” Many artist have done that one including a live recording of Muddy Waters, Johnny Winters and James Cotton playing together in 1977 touring for Muddy’s album titled Hard Again.

    YAY MORE ROBIN TROWER ! You guys are the best. yeah, they could play tight R&B when they wanted, Trower loves loves James Brown, says Live at the Apollo was one of his favorite albums.. Another R&Bish song is Somebody's Calling, that he still plays in concert today, very cool. Jimmy Dewar was brilliant singer. fyi Trower came from Procol Harum. Trower joined shortly after the song was recorded, when original guitarist left. Trower was friends w/ one of the original songwriter duo or something (forget details). He didn't get to Trower guitar much in that band, except for the Song for a Dreamer song, and a few others.
