Robin should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ex guitartist of Procul Harem he left in early 70s to go solo. This album should be listened to in it's entirety one of the best ever. Saw him in 74 and opened my eyes and a whole generation to the blues. Ended up seeing him 5 time in Detroit at Cobo Hall and he sold out every concert. He filled the gap after Hendrix died and he did it so well. James Dewar the bass/vocalist was at the top of his game and was considered that. Imagine growing up with the music of the 70s , Queen, Robin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Yes, Stones, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep etc. We were so lucky

[@DanAbrams-wo1bm]

That is why R&R HOF is a joke,. It took until the 2000s for both YES & THE MOODY BLUES to make it, heck even Ozzy Osbourne is not in as a solo artist. And how many "one hit wonders" are in?

[@danweston2489]

Right there with you brother! Saw his shows several times in the '70s and loved his groove. We contributed to the Spring Break phenomenon playing this album in our beachside hotel room VERY LOUD. The police visited us and asked that we turn it down, then left. Needless to say the party continued on through the night!

[@combatveteranusnavy2012]

I didn't hear this song for the first time on the FM Radio. It was 1974, my friend was getting a haircut, and I went along. He sat on the chair to get his haircut, and I sat in the waiting area chair. This song was already playing and pretty loud. I immediately asked the hair stylist "WHO THE HELL IS THAT!!!??? "Robin Trower," he said. Well, when my friend finished his haircut, we both walked into the record store which was a few businesses away. He bought the album and of course I did too!!!!!!!!!!

[@cometogether999]

Robin Trower is very underrated when it comes to all time greats. "Day of the Eagle" and "Bridge of Sighs" are nice ones to try.

Yup. You took the words out of my mouth ;-)

Trower is a legend guitar player and song writer. James Dewar sang lead vocals and played bass on this album and was such a soulful singer.

[@armlovesmetal1036]

Nice video. It is so wonderful to listen to see young people enjoying some "old" music. I heard Robin Trower for the first time when I was 14 years old. I saw him in 1985 and the concert was magnificent.

[@-R.Gray-]

Robin Trower was the guitarist for the group Procol Harum before he left to do his own music. A couple of good examples of his playing with that group from the 1970 album "Home" are "Whiskey Train", and "Whaling Stories". At 76 years old, he still plays well and has tour dates lined up for next year. His big influence was Jimi Hendrix. The bass player is the singer in the group.

[@historyguy5942]

Classics from PH and Robin Trower that you might want to add to the list would be “Conquistador” and “Simple Sister."

[@davidlaw7465]

I wish I could somehow explain the importance of music in my life during my childhood in the late 50's into the 60's and on through the 70's and onwards...I just cannot describe it; but as a 70 year old man it's so fine to watch the excitement and joy of you both, and others, discovering, enjoying and re-living what I discovered and enjoyed over the decades now. Sounds......so many! PS: Nik, yer a fine guitar player. Love to you and lex, both.

[@daveminers3404]

One of my favorite albums of all time and you only heard the third best song. For heavier but still bluesy, try "Little Bit of Sympathy" or "The Fool and Me". For distorted guitar like you've never heard and melancholy vocals and vibe, check out "Long Misty Days", off the album of the same name. There's nothing like it. Robin Trower is criminally underrated.

[@gregcormier2379]

Nice to see you guys give Robin Trower some love. He is such an incredible guitarist. Another great song to check out is the title track from the Bridge of Sighs album.

[@rtwbikerider]

We would have first heard Robin Trower playing guitar on the first few Procol Harum albums. When he went solo, he created a trio with a drummer and bassist/singer. Bridge of Sighs is a great album from start to finish.

[@KWE.ECLECTIC]

You would have heard him before Procol with a band called The Paramount's. They had a semi hit called Poison Ivy. The Paramount's eventually would become Procol Harum for the most part.

That entire album is fantastic! Don't miss out on listening to all of it. You should really check out Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush as well.

[@lhadron]

my two older brothers and i saw robin trower live at the swing auditorium in san bernadino, ca. we'd been listening to his bridge of sighs album non-stop for months. it was the summer just before 8th grade for me, and it was my first concert. robin trower walked on stage with his bass player and drummer, said bellow, and proceeded to play the entire bridge of sighs album without breaking at all. it was fantastic. a number of years later, my brothers and i were driving through fresno, ca. , and happened to look up at a theater marquee that said: mahogany rush, tonight. on a whim, we went. frank marino just leveled every person attending. he took us, the audience, to places we'd not planned on going... and it just kept on and on. amazing. we were losing our minds in the most extreme blues/rock guitar solos and riffs and chords. after 4 encores, mr. marino called a night. the lights came on, canned music began to play, janitors began sweeping. whereupon, every concert goer there, started stomping their feet. the place started to shake like crazy. then someone on a loud speaker started threatening the crowd with legal consequences, whereupon large objects , like chairs, stared flying we kept clapping and yelling for more. anything not tied down was in the air and a true riot started. thankfully, frank and his band came back on stage (after 10-15 of mayhem), and played two more encores.... fantastic .

So Great. I was born in ‘64 and have listened to tons of music from the 70’s. Robin Trower also evaded me until a friend/co-worker turned me onto him on or about ‘94. I’ve been a huge fan of his guitar playing, his vibe and great songs ever since. I was lucky to catch Robin live just a few years ago. Robin in his early 70’s is still out there kicking butt. Vocalist and bass player James Dewer (RIP 2002) recorded nine albums with Trower from ‘73-‘83. Those early albums are all worth looking into. Great stuff.

[@ronaldpena8990]

I met and talked with Robin Trower backstage at The House Of Blues in New Orleans. He was a very cool dude. Very mellow.

I saw Robin Trower live just 10 years ago in downtown Boise. I was right at the stage so I was about 6 feet away from him during the entire show. I think everyone on stage was over 55, especially Robin, but they put on a great performance (most of the audience was probably in the same age bracket). I'm surprised at how many people have never heard of him, but they would recognize the song "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (Procol Harum) if they heard it.

[@vicprovost2561]

Cool, I saw him a bunch of times in the old days, including point blank a couple times. We got so high just from seeiing the intro to Bridge of Sighs from 3 feet away from him. So underrated, a sweet Fender that could overpower you in a great way.

Discovered Robin Trower - guitarist - during the 70's in my teens with this very album. I heard the title track and bought the album....then bought all those with vocalist the Late James Dewar who's tone so fitted perfectly with Robins playing. Those albums are wonderful. Years later I found out Robin was in Procol Harum. - Really ? so I looked at some old footage and there he was - I nearly turned a whiter shade of pale - who knew this guy would go solo and become the son of Hendrix ? A live album from 1976 live at Stockholm Concert Hall and a track called "Daydream" is pure utter bliss with some guitar sustain that will leave you gasping. Just a beautiful wonderful track leaving you happy & stunned at the same time....Yes there is a studio version - but this live version is on another level...."Daydream" you will float away......Other guitarists around the 70's + ? - "Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush" - He even does Hendrix cover versions & his solo albums are also incredible. He even sings like Jimi Hendrix. Great reaction to a great guitarist I've loved for decades. Thankyou.

[@scottethanglenn9747]

Robin Trower played with Procol Harum .Whiter Shade of Pale being their biggest hit. After going solo,he is the first guitarist to take what Jimi Hendrix used and was using until his death and attempt to keep experimenting with those particular effects,chord structures,scales,etc. The Bridge of Sighs album is incredible and is an awesome continuation of that Hendrix sound. There are many "tributes" and covers of Hendrix but very few have really tried to stay within a pure Jimi set up. Jon Butcher/Jon Butcher Axis is another good example I think,and Eric Gales as well.
