About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Guitarist Robin Trower's watershed sophomore solo disc remains his most stunning, representative, and consistent collection of tunes. Mixing obvious Hendrix influences with blues and psychedelia, then adding the immensely soulful vocals of James Dewar, Trower pushed the often limited boundaries of the power trio concept into refreshing new waters. The concept gels best in the first track, "Day of the Eagle," where the opening riff rockingly morphs into the dreamy washes of gooey guitar chords that characterize the album's distinctive title track that follows. At his best, Trower's gauzy sheets of oozing, wistful sound and subtle use of wah-wah combine with Dewar's whisky-soaked soul-drenched vocals to take a song like the wistful ballad "In This Place" into orbit. "Too Rolling Stoned," another highlight and one of the most covered tracks from this album, adds throbbing, subtle funk to the mix, changing tempos midway to a slow, forceful amble on top of which Trower lays his quicksilver guitar. One of the few Robin Trower albums without a weak cut, Bridge of Sighs holds up to repeated listenings as a timeless work, as well as the crown jewel in Trower's extensive yet inconsistent catalog. [Chrysalis/Capitol's 2007 reissue included eight bonus BBC sessions.] Hal Horowitz, All Music Guide

I can't possibly be the only one to have heard of Robin Trower!by Anonymous

April 20, 2009: I first heard Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" in the mid 70's on the radio, and after listening to the title track, not only was I hooked, but I had to have it, now. The guitar is deep, soulful, and powerful. The vocals by James Dewar match the guitar perfectly with it's soulfulness, quiet power and deepness. When it was on vinyl (some of you may remember those days), it was among my favorites. Now, after time and CD's, he is still one of my favorites, he's just become "old school" I guess and his work is becoming harder to find. Just give it a listen and see if you don't love him too.
