    Robin Trower is one the greatest electric guitarists ever, his tone and tasteful playing is in class by itself. He’s still doing it, brand new album out now with Livingstone Brown and Maxi Priest is killer. His earliest work with Procol Harum from the 60’s/early 70’s is how I got hooked.

    This is a power trio. Robin Trower plays guitar. James Dewar sings and plays bass while Reg Isidore is on drums.
    Day of the Eagle, Bridge of Sighs, The Fool and Me, and Little Bit of Sympathy are some more great trax from this album.

    I don't care what color you are, what religion you follow, what you identify as or what your plumbing is, if you can't feel the groove in this song within 5 seconds then you must be dead! It took Tosha all of about 1.5 seconds to start moving her body to the beat...about the same amount of time it took for her brain to acknowledge "this is awesome". Not that it matters but 3 of the whitest dudes on the planet wrote this song nealry 50 years ago and brilliantly combined blues, funk & rock. Enjoy. Your (both) reactions just made my day. BTW song is from 1974.

    I'm 70 years old now. The first concert I went to , I was in 8th grade, and it was Jimi Hendrix, Vanilla Fudge, Aire Apparenr, and Soft Machine, in Seattle in 1968. Jimi Hendrix as been my #1 ever since. His music changed my life. I have been able to see Robin Tower twice over the years. Trower is easily in my top 3 bands. I saw the Allman Brothers Band during the same tour as their double live album, Live at the Philmore East. These three bands, also including Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, are my picks. I have seen lots if other great concerts over the years, including Mountain, Black Sabath, Billy Cobham and Spectrum, Savoy Brown, Wishbone Ash, Canned Eat, etc, etc. I enjoyed seeing you two youngsters hearing Trower for the first time! That album has to go down as one of the all time best heavy rock album. Mt. Trower's wife passed away a few years back. He took some time off, but then came back with a vengence, and is still touring and cuting new records. May he rock on forever

  • @batfang5583

    I was heavily into this in the late 70s, and I think this was my favorite song of his. In his latter years, around the late 90s, I got to see him live, and he opened with this song, and he was all old man and lips and teeth, and he was nuts. Great choice.

Most guitar players that play professionally for 30 or 40 years has severe nerve damage and arthritis like myself .I have carpal tunnel.severe arthritis. I had two surgeries this was my last year to play the guitar if want to know how the pain fills. Go find a electric wall socket and grab it. been a rough year also lost my wife to cancer. My wife and my guitar only two things that I loved in my life. I lost both of them this year playing guitar professionally for a living is not what it cracked up to be

The title track of this album is another great song to listen to. If you want to hear some rocking blues plug into Stevie Ray Vaughan"s (pronounced Vonn), Texas Flood; Live at the El Mocambo.

From this same album you should check out the opening two tracks which are Day of the Eagle and it goes right into the title track of Bridge of Sighs. Too Rolling Stoned opens side two. The rest of the album is also great with a couple of slower tempo tracks and three more rockers.

    Hey guys, I've seen Robin about 10 times in Houston and Dallas and that album is from the mid 70s. I used to blow my friends heads off with Trower. I met him once also. Robin is from the U.K., he's about 80 now and probably still touring, he lives on the road.

    Great album. Victims of the Fury is a great album too. I also loved the record he did with Jack Bruce of Cream fame, BLT (Bruce, Lordan, Trower)

    You can't go wrong with Trower. I've been a big fan since the 70's. Had the honor to see him live.

    This is how you enjoy Robin Trower's music. Well done! Exactly: This band was a unique mix of hard rock, R&B, soul, and blues.

    Thank you, you two! You nailed the reaction. This was 1974. And to those that mentioned first having this on 8 track tape, damn rights! And again, thanks to T and T

      I disagree on them nailing the reaction. I don't think they listened to the lyrics close enough. It's a Blues song and definitely Social Commentary at the time. In the same vein that CSNY's OHIO was social commentary of the massacre at OU.

    I remember a Trower show in a small Club in Tampa back in the early 80's it was his birthday that night and me and my friends dropped some Purple Micro Dot. To Rolling Stone gets going and I went out of control doing a James Brown dance!! I couldn't stop, people were like freaked!!
    Trower has been my main influence since the Bridge of Sighs tour when I first was turned on to him.
    Dewar and Trower was the best Trower band.

    Thank you for recognizing a truly great album.! Robins use of reverb is masterful. And by the way the whole album is awesome.

    Robin Trower was power trio band and Trower played lead guitar , leaving lead vocals to the bassist. Robin Trower had several lead singers thru his career, buy UNARGUABLY, the best was James Dewar which featured him on this record release in 1974.........one year b4 I joined the service. I was addicted to Robin Trower at his pinnacle with James Dewar. His music still evokes emotion in me. Thanks for reacting. Check his live stuff out. and look at Robin get lost in his zone shredding his instrument.

      @@edb6690 , I graduated from sub school in February 1974 and qualified on the USS HENRY CLAY SSBN 625 on October 29, 1974 on my only Deterrent Patrol. I was transferred to the USS PUFFER SSN652 in December 1974 because the Henry Clay was being sent to the shipyard in New Hampshire for upgrade to the Poseidon missile and refueling. I wanted to go but the powers that be decided the Puffer needed a newly qualified newly promoted Third Class A-ganger instead. What was your rate and what boat did you go to?

    Robin Trower is an electric guitarist who usually performs as a power trio (James Dewar, bass and vocals) and Reg Isidore (drums). The album, "Bridge of Sighs," was his 2nd release in 1974. The entire album is worth a listen. It opens with the heavy "Day of the Eagle." Other great songs here are the title cut, "A Little Bit of Sympathy" and "The Fool and Me." Lots and lots of excellent songs from this artist. In the early 80s he teamed up with the legendary bassist (and vocalist), Jack Bruce, and drummer Bill Lord and and released the album, BLT, with an outstanding single, "Into Money." 💚💚💚

    Just thought I’d mention, Robin Trower is in his late 70’s, and still tours with his music! Watch him in a live video. He TOTALLY gets in to what he’s playing. Squeezing every nuance out of that guitar. 😎 🎸
