Broken Barricades is the fifth studio album by English rock band Procol Harum, released the same week they began their U.S. tour, in April 1971.[3] The UK release was on 11 June 1971. It was guitarist Robin Trower's last recording with the group until The Prodigal Stranger (1991).

"Song for a Dreamer" is a tribute to late Jimi Hendrix from Trower, who was stunned by Hendrix's death in September 1970 at the age of 27.[4]
