"Too Rolling Stoned" is another great tune by Robin Trower from 1974.

[@Groove_Gamer]

Bridge of Sighs is one of those albums you can put on and listen beginning to end and love every moment, it's perfection IMO

[@JimF-tf7kg]

Totally agree. I played this album for a friend and he became an immediate Trower fan and wanted every thing Trower recorded

[@dda40x1]

You are correct.

[@johnmodlin7028]

I've talked to Robin a few times, seen him 5 times, and know one of his drummers. I've followed Robin for more than 40 years. He is an amazing influence and incredible guitar player. Needs to be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame.

Jimmy Dewar; best blues-rock vocalist ever, hands down. Sadly missed.

[@robarmstrong6126]

One of the greatest rock/blues albums of all time, a truly underrated masterpiece .

[@allenlocke1935]

James Dwar the bass player is also the vocalist. Who was the voice of this era. Pure magic! The thing you two don't realize yet, is that this whole album is " SAUCE" from start to end. It was released in'74, I believe, and that you are still hearing about it today is no fluke. A great Fall/ Winter album. Put it on... sit back... and vegetate! This is Timeless!!!!!!!!

[@jenbill]

James Dewar on vocals have to listen to title track “Bridge Of Sighs” makes you drift off into a different world.

[@djm4457]

James Dewar was one of the best rock/blues voices of his day.....never quite got the recognition he deserved either. Simply superb, world class tone and emotion in his voice.

Have seen Robin play 5 times, and he is superb. He is one of those guitarists that you go to see, expecting to see his soul bleed - and he does ! And THEN he takes you to these sublime realms of emotion you never thought existed, and you just want to hold that note, that moment forever....

To really appreciate Robin Trower start Bridge of Sighs from beginning to end. Awesome!

[@DavidTateVA]

When I was in high school just before 1980, the "who's the greatest guitarist?" argument only had a few sides -- and one of them was Robin Trower.

[@Lawrence1954]

This album flows from song to song. It should be listened to in its entirety.

[@lisaw5604]

Finally! A&A you just listened to one of the greats. Robin Trower the man, was part of Procol Harum (proto-prog). Legend. The band Robin Trower amazing Power Trio. This song is just a warm up to the album. I can see why you weren't blown away. (A to A+)Next cut "Bridge of Sighs" and all you mentioned requests. Each song blends into the next... Robin Trower was out there still Rockin' before the virus hit. RIP James Dewar (bassist/vocalist). Thanks for giving them a shot. Lovely day to you! :)

[@neilyoungfan]

I saw Trower in 1974 and it was the first time I ever witnessed a standing ovation before the band even hit a note. And the show was amazing too!

[@richwwardrugby]

Robin Trower another of our Great British institutions. He started with Procul Harem and went on after that to form his own band. He is unique and has a rare talent. I have noticed some comments saying RIP, I am happy to tell you he is alive and well and is still kicking it at 75 years of age.

[@jazzsauce8130]

As underrated or less heard of Robin Trower is, James Dewar also deserves much more credit and recognition. Dewars bass parts and vocals are a strong contribution to Bridge Of Sighs and the classic Trower sound.

[@shanetilley2591]

Years ago I saw Robin Trower on the Tonight Show. (Yes, with johnny Carson. That's how old I am.) He played a lead break using only three notes, which bent sublimely through the whole solo.

Perfect introduction. Trower picked up where Hendrix left off in the same way ELO picked up where Beatles orchestral songs left off. In context 1973 Trower was a big deal. Now you're prepped for the track Bridge of Sighs. The ultimate sauce track. Moves like a glacier on Qualudes.

[@jeff2908]

"glacier on Quaaludes" Now that is painting a picture with words.

[@daveminers3404]

Your Trower/Hendrix and ELO/Beatles comment is spot on.

"glacier on Qualudes" ... There isn't a better description for that song.

Loved him for 50 years!!! THE most underrated guitarist EVER. I know one of his drummers, a later singer and have met him once. My favorite of all time. Glad you learned of him, now listen to EVERYTHING he did ;)

[@sregormot513]

“I want to hear some ‘NEW’ frickin’ artists”. I’m 58, I was eleven my first time hearing Trower, and it still feels new. You have quite the trail ahead of you my friends. Unlimited great talents to enjoy.

[@ajschroetlin2196]

When I was 15 years old my best friend's dad gave me tickets to a concert, of an unknown artist to me . He said it was one of the best guitarists I would ever see. He wasn't wrong. I'm going to give a vote to the song Caledonia. One of many great Trower songs.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Trower really went deep into his playing, great harmonic control. The band kicked ass live.

[@aFiliandsomejoe]

[@radar0412]

It's a slow jam. The Boy's like Bangers. Too Rolling Stoned.

[@derfscreechenhowser7548]

Fair criticism. Robin Trower is a British guitarist, James Dewar was a Scottish dude with the soulful voice. I saw the trio several times in the 1970's and even then it was obvious that Trower was a Jimi Hendrix acolyte (a really good one, tho). I prefer the atmospherics of "Bridge of Sighs" or "In this Place" to this song.

[@reverendbStaard]

His music is soul rendering.

[@danapaul3216]

Ward... On the Hendrix acolyte comment. I feel the same as you. This song in particular could be on any of the middle of Jimi’s albums. That’s why I think he never got the props he deserved, sounds too much like Hendrix too soon after Jimi’s death. Take Stevie Ray Vaughn for example. He was getting great acclaim for his music before his untimely death.

[@derfscreechenhowser7548]

Robin's work with Procol Harum was pretty understated and, after leaving Procol, I guess that the guy just wanted to rock out. As far as I'm concerned, using the power trio attack of Hendrix, was a pretty damned good choice. Still, I kinda prefer Robin's more melodic sides like "Daydream" or when he indulged his rhythmic chops on songs like "Caledonia". I grew up in SoCal and remember that Trower was a staple on FM radio and always a big draw during the summer concert season. I can attest that, in live venues, he blew out countless brain cells from most of us blue jean babies. I'm glad that Alex and Andy finally got around to him. He definitely deserves a look-see from anyone who enjoys classic British blues rock from that era.

[@Irockthere4]

A Stratomaster on guitar and Dewars bass and vocals. What a trio

[@jeffkemper7920]

Robin was originally in a band called Procul Harem. They were big over a couple albums but he felt like they were going nowhere. He heard Jimi Hendrix, and like a floodlight hit him and he realized that this was his road to take. Great guitar player. Great songwriter. Bridge of Sighs is epic.

[@ampig8948]

Thanks for checking out Robin. His use of nuance, dynamic changes, one-of-a-kind thick and soulful tone - not tinny or shrill. His incredible phrasing of licks within a solo. Incredible vibrato. He is Robert Fripp of King Crimson favorite electric guitarist. He got his start with Procol Harum which is very keyboard-centric. His solo and tone in the PH song Simple Sister is unreal. Not to mention B.J. Wilson's drumming. So please continue reactions to Mr. Trower. He's in a class by himself. Tasty.

[@bencurti7693]

Ok, true confessions time - I was 17 when this came out in 1974, I remember my parents were out of the country, just bought this album, never heard it, invited 2 buds over for the weekend. We did some, ahem, shrooms- got toasty, and put the album on my Dads brand new Pioneer sound system, which I picked out, BTW. Well, needless to say, the first song that pops on is DOTE....it was like, whoa, WTF is this!! 😳 All I can say is, a great album...vintage stoner/Stratocaster material....meant to be CRANKED! Thanks for playing this - RT one of the great Strat players of all time. Saw him live on this LP tour in Detroit. Peace ✌

[@loosilu]

Pioneer was the bomb! State of the art.

[@michaelrichard5920]

I was 12 when it came out and I had grass cutting money in my pocket and a brand new Electrophonic stereo with a turntable and a cheesy 5 band equalizer. Couldn't get to Ted's Records fast enough.

[@loosilu]

Pioneer stereo, NEAR speakers, Technics turntable

[@zappa1952]

When l saw Trower in 73', 74' @ Santa Monica Civic, the two other bands didn't stand a chance. And Trower didn't even headline! As l remember the other bands were Golden Earing, trying to ride "Radar Love" till it died. Then after Trower was Poco. I had to leave it was so sad.

[@joint2joint2k]

Robin had that Hendrix swagger, but also had his own thing going. Exceptional guitar player, and as good as anybody from that period.

[@michaelescareno7048]

Glad you all had a chance to hear Robin Trower. Saw him live in 1976 when he opened for Humble Pie. That wasn't him singing; the bass player sang!

[@ronstanley9873]

grew up with this guy,,heavy blues riffs,and the lead singer had a great voice....

[@iarocks44]

Robin Trower is not the lead singer on this track or album. The singer is James Dewar. Later on Robin would sing some himself but he prefers to just play guitar. One of the best guitarist you never heard of. Anything off the Bridge of Signs album is top shelf. Very unique sound. Saw them live in 1977 at the Capitol Centre in Largo MD. It was awesome. The Fool and Me is great along with Little Bit of Sympathy and the title song Bridger of Sighs.

[@johnmodlin7028]

Remember this album was from '75, so his influence has influenced the things you listen to today. Also, check out his song Too Rolling Stoned. This song has the best lead I've ever heard. to date.

[@romariosouza3895]

“Too Rolling Stoned” live at Winterland 1975, it’s mind blowing...

[@leesmith6749]

I was there, one of the best concerts I ever saw, course nothing sounds as good as Winterland...

[@jbellinger99]

James Dewar is the bassist/vocalist/ There are better songs - Bridge of Sighs, Too Rolling Stoned - he is a forefather to Stevie Ray - has often been accused of being over-derivative of Hendrix. He never made it to the consistent level of Hendrix or SRV, but is highly regarded in his own right, and is still touring and still great. A blues/rock pioneer. Good show, guys, as always. Thanks for what you do!

[@VinE83656]

One of my top five favorite albums of all time. You need to hear the whole album in it's entirety. It is a total "lost in the sauce" album. That fade out goes right into the title track which is one of the most atmospheric songs of all time. The album has slower songs and rockers. Check out the whole album in it's entirety, it's the Dark Side of the Moon of blues rock in my opinion. He was criticized early on as copying Hendrix but he developed his own style and is still around today. He did not sing on this album as he only began to sing in the past 10 years or so. Yes, Too Rolling Stones and Bridge of Sighs are definitely the way to go next and I think you will hear a little bit of the envelope being pushed, if you know what I mean. I can go on for a while but my post is already very long.

"I didn't hear anything new from the genre..." Well there is a reason for that. He was one of the pioneers of that genre. He took up where Hendrix left off and moved the bar forward. Virtually everything else that came after was influenced by what they had done up to that point. So no, you won't hear anything really new but what you will hear is where it all started.

Hey guys! John Gold here! I Cant express enough, my appreciation and surprise to stumble upon your Day of the Eagle/R. Trower commentary here! Wow...2 "young guys" of current college age, rocking and "liking" Day of the Eagle! I was 12 when this album was released in 1974 and had a High School age aunt turn me on to this album. Me and my bandmates of; Axial Flow, from Raleigh NC USA, covered this classic in a rock vid (here on KZbin). Im now an (almost) 61 year old US Army vet and lifetime drummer/vocalist since before I was "12"! We agreed to produce the vid with a patriotic theme to this song (i.e.. "Living in the Day of the Eagle") to honor all USA veterans and KIA/WIA/MIA HEROES of our great nation.We posted it on Memorial Day almost 3 years ago. Its kinda like (the vid and the song) my "personal anthem". I would be so honored if you guys would search it out and give it a watch & a listen? Not asking you to showcase it...just see it and comment on (our YT channel)...and maybe Like & Subscribe? Man that would be cool and greatly appreciated! We'll be releasing our first original Axial Flow Band single next month! Watch for it. Rock On young-bros and TYVM for showcasing Day of the Eagle here, by The Great Robin Trower! ;-D

[@alfredfarber3385]

Find live versions of Bridge of Sighs, In This Place, and Daydream. You guys said that he didn't do anything you hadn't heard from other blues rock guitarists, although he did it well. But if you listen to these three songs (and many others), he doesn't sound like other blues rockers. Both in his rhythm and solo playing, he makes blues sound different from the crowd, and he has his own unique blues vocabulary. And his tone is really phat for a Strat player, focused on the midrange. He deserves more recognition.

[@zappa1952]

As a huge Hendrix fan, this was the first Hendrix influenced guitarist that l accepted. Saw him in his earlier days in L.A. The crowd response was phenomenal and surprised even him.

For those of us who loved Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower filled in a void that was created when Jimi died. It was as if he'd come back, in a way, as if we weren't going to be denied Jimi Hendrix music after all.

Bridge Of Sighs and Another FM Rock Classic Called Lady Love

[@timwirasnik5878]

This whole Album is simply Classic! The band Tesla did an amazing cover of this track

[@argelbargel7680]

"Caledonia" is a banger.

[@johntremmel3949]

The album bridge of sighs is one of the great albums of the early 70s every tune is fantastic !

[@richmiddlebrook3103]

Wow, he sounds like a young Paul Rogers (Bad Company)! Great voice.

[@jbellinger99]

That is the late great James Dewar - yes, he does sound like Rogers, but he came first.

[@killmelater12]

He sounds to me like Dio in the first Rainbow album".

[@jbellinger99]

@@killmelater12 never liked Dio

[@larryg7126]

Critics complained that Robin sounded like Jimi Hendrix (he actually spent a few days with Hendrix at Electric Ladyland jamming and hanging out). His reply was you try to insult me by telling me I sound like the greatest guitarist ever, I'll take it. I saw him twice once with Procol Harum (he left after "Broken Barricades" to start his power trio) and second on his own was great. He also played with Jack Bruce (Cream) and Bill Lordan (Sly & the Family Stone) for two albums as BLT.

Yeah, Bridge of Sighs is his trademark song. I traveled with Robin for three U.S. tours and his fans are truly fanatics. He's still touring! Had to postpone the current tour until 2021. Sidenote: He wasn't the singer for most of his early career. This was James Dewar who has since passed. Robin is now singing on his new releases and doing a fantastic job finding his voice. -Mat

This was good...he was great in concert...maybe still is. Let's get into some Funk 49 by the James Gang next come on guys!!!

[@teamviagraham]

Now that you've experience one of the guitar Heroes of the 60s and 70s check out Rory Gallagher Johnny Winters Alvin Lee so many great guitar players from back then

[@AKICITA]

RORY! RORY! RORY! RORY! RORY! RORY!

[@fredhall6525]

Definitely Rory. The best reaction would be to watch his live clips.

[@recyclerhopkins]

To appreciate Rory Gallagher you should watch a live concert clip of him performing. There is a lot of Rockplast stuff from German TV on youtube. Also check out Alvin Lee with Ten Years After at Woodstock on the song I'm Going Home, watch the video, one of the highlights of the festival, legendary. Do longest version(with watermellon) 11:30 version

ROY BUCHANAN

[@andrearodriguez9005]

And don’t forget Michael Schenker...The Mad Axeman!!🤘🏼😎

[@royalway12]

He was actually doing it before anyone else. With the exception of Hendrix.

[@DanielinLaTuna]

That's right! These kids don't know nothin'. Before there was SRV, there was Robin. Mind you, I love Stevie Ray; he played like the devil was after him. But these British blues rockers were following Jimi Hendrix

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Must listen to "Bridge of Sighs" directly followed by "In This Place." And also "Too Rolling Stoned." Also: he was helping to CREATE the genre.
