    This guy is the definition of underrated!! One of the best voices ever. An accomplished bassist. A large body of work. Yet all of us are the only people that have even heard of him.

    Saw James in 70s with Trower. His vocals express a depth of Soul that is very rare and gifted to very few vocal artists. I am of the mind that James lives through his recordings.

      Oh, you're the same as I am. Yeah, I too, got into Robin Trower and James Dewar, about the same age. Saw them once. In Chicago, Illinois. A place called The Park West. Intimate ! Close. It was awesome. It was part of the, going places, that you now, could legally, go into, and have a cocktail at.🍸 !
      The sound was just superb. Great soundman ! I really love James voice ! Special. 🙏✨

    Been a Trower fan since "Conquistador." Never heard Jimmy until "Bridge of Sighs". Some of the albums were better than the others of course, but "Fool", It's for You", and "Sweet Wine of Love" really showcased Jimmy's talent. I'm a Scotsman and Jimmy Dewar was a hell of a fine laddie. RIP.

    I love all of Trower's stuff, but , you're right, nobody could sing like this guy, got to see him live twice, once in Birmingham, Al and once here in Houston, one of the best vocalists to ever walk the face of the earth, I love this song, would love to have this cd

  • @VinceSchier

    Trower is one of the greats, but his music just don't get it without James Dewar.
    The painfully obvious proof is when they reunited to record "Back It Up"
    Lately, I've been listening to "Lady Love" repeatedly and pushing the ear buds in as far as I can to hear the great Dewar bass lines! I love it!

    Dewar's work with Robin Trower was outstanding. I notice that in the comments for Robin Trower vids on youtube that more ppl talk about Dewar's singing than Trower's guitar playing. Dewar was a perfect fit for RT. Don't think he did any lead vocals in Stone the Crows since they featured Maggie Bell.

    Why do people have to say things like this? James Dewar was a friend of mine. A lovely sweet man with some of the best pipes ever possessed by a human for soulful rock. He wouldn't for one second have let you say something ridiculous like that. Paul Rodgers voice really has nothing at all to do with Jimmy's. Paul Rodgers is a great bluesy-rock singer. Why in the world would you compare these two? Listen a little harder. Who's better - Jeff Beck or Derek Trucks? Both.
