  • In this video we're checking out Robin Trower. We don't know a whole lot about Robin, except that he was once a member of Procol Harum before going solo. So, we're really excited to hear what he has to offer. Enjoy!

    I remember when they started playing Robin Trower on the radio back then...it was like Jimi Hendrix had come back to life in the body of Robin Trower, so perfectly did he capture what Jimi did with his guitar. It was a delightful discovery.
    I'll go ahead & recommend *Gonna Be More Suspicious* right now, which is my favorite RT song. It's wah-wah wonderful!

    Robin Trower was known as the strat king and still is today. Robin was my 2nd concert ever after Rush in 74 at Detroit Cobo Hall. He opened up the world of blues for a whole generation. He filled the gap after the death of Hendrix. I saw him 5 times at Cobo and he sold out every concert. James Dewar the bassist/vocalist was one of the best . A great time to grow up we had the best music ever. I don't know why he isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall.

    Robin is it. Labelled the 'White Hendrix' which he hated. Only one Jimi as only one Robin. Great power trio with a bass player who had one of the greatest rock/soul voices EVER in Jimmy Dewar. This album sold over 3 million copies in the mid-70's without a single. The first three Trower albums are GREAT. He's still creating and playing today. A maestro in every sense.

    Vocalist for this whole album is bass player James Dewar. I've always thought that his voice and phrasing were a perfect match for Robin Trower's guitar virtuoso. The title track for this album, Bridge of Sighs, would be a great next listen from them. Robin sings in live shows and on recordings nowadays, but in the 70s and early 80s Dewar did all of the vocals.

Special time when talents came together to produce some amazing music esp first couple LPs as is common with many bands. Ex Dire Straights LP #1, #2, Master Pieces, but Trower LP Bridge of Sighs is EPIC entire LP.

    I love this, I'd not heard this for a while. Although very different in sound this always reminds me of another band (I'm not sure why) and that is, 'Suicide', they have an unusual sound well worth reacting to, I suggest that you start with the tracks, 'Frankie Teardrop', 'Ghost Rider' and 'Dream Baby Dream'.

    Sorry to interrupt but in case you guys didn't know, Geordie Walker, the guitarist from the band Killing Joke died a day or so ago. His style and guitar sound is/was unique and suited Killing Joke perfectly. They were not just a post punk band. No chance. Killing Joke are hugely influential. I wondered if you guys would do me the honour if playing a song in memory of Geordie, and that summed the band up. Maybe Love Like Blood or 80's. You won't be disappointed. Thank you.
