Robin Trower - Birdsong [Official]

[@johnnyr.8852]

The song offering itself is great. Parts of Robin's solo via his signature wah sound, closely mimic an almost human voice. Robin himself said he could find no fault with this track. Of course, Taggarts steady drumming and the vocals of Watts bring the song from Trower's head to a fantastic reality. Trower and company deserve a Grammy nomination or a Blues Award nomination for this fine cd. Nice!

I could of not of said it any better. ✌️⚡️🙌

[@johnnyr.8852]

@@caroleborchert5023 Been a Trower fan since the Bridge of Sighs era. Trying to remember all of the live Trower shows that we've attended. They include 8-10 in Indiana, 1 in St. Paul MN. 1 in Kansas City Kansas, 1 in Nashville TN. and 3-4 in Cincinatti OH. Have talked to Robin numerous times. Best guitarist on the planet and the nicest person that you would ever want to meet. Before Covid, he would always stay & greet his fans until the very last fan had left. I will NEVER forget witnessing that over and over. Wow!

[@johnnyr.8852]

@@cloudedthoughts909 Sadly only a few. One was on the In City Dreams Tour in Oct.1977 at the Indianapolis Pepsi Coliseum W/Ram Jam. The other was out of state but I don't remember where. Saw Trower in Minneapolis/St. Paul at the Fitzgerald theatre downtown. WOW! No Double WOW!! It had 2 balconies and we sat up top in the left/ center of the stage and the sound was absolutely incredible. They say that no seat is more than 87 feet from the stage at the Fitzgerald. It is still my top Robin Trower show of all time.

[@MrJohnpfisher]

@@johnnyr.8852 I saw him twice in Indiana. Once at the Goshen theater in '85(?) where the power went out during "Secret Passages," and then again in South Bend at a club whose name I forget where Black Oak opened. I'm curious where you're from. I'm from Elkhart, but I moved to Boston in '88. I've only seen him once here at the long gone South Boston Channel night club in '89(?).

[@johnnyr.8852]

@@MrJohnpfisher Closest I saw Robin play near South Bend was in Merrillville but I don't have the ticket stub and can't remember the name of the club. I do remember that he came out wearing a light brown leather jacket with tassels that he later took off. I'm near the Muncie area.

[@alanjamesh.zamorano1677]

Is not easy to find a replacement of James Dewar's dearly missed voice or Davey's. But this guy makes a great job capturing the soulfulness in Trower's music.

[@tomoday4450]

Excellent 👍🏻

[@douglaschristine8387]

I was just about to make a comment similar to you so I'll just agree with you for now, lol.

[@kerrykurschinsky2451]

Richard Watt's does an excellant job of capturing the moment,... not so easy,... when Trower is playing note's... that are not major or minor,... each "vibrato" has to fit,... you won't here sound's like these two,... from anyplace else.........

[@tubetea]

Yep, I really like all the vocalists that Robin's chosen over the years but he is the very closest to James, I got to see them in Houston before I moved away.

Not sure how he does it, but Robin hits the right note every single time. Best electric blues guitarist ever... the man is unworldly.

[@F8Tributo]

RT has the most emotive licks, and soulful bends. My favorite guitarist/songwriter, ever since Bridge of Sighs.

[@gulfgypsy]

Robin is and has always been, one of the true legends of rock and blues. Surely SRV is smiling down from heaven hearing this.

[@Lauriedriver]

Why do some people still compare robin to Hendrix?,they obviously don’t understand robins style or technique and the songs he plays. I’m 65 seen him and listened to him for years,it may not be obvious to some but there is a vast difference.

[@johnnyr.8852]

Couldn't agree more. Hendrix was THE psychedelic guitar pioneer, showman, and front man, but I don't believe that his actual musicianship equals Trower's. Robin's chord voicings are sometimes very jazzy and much more musical to my ear. I have always said that Trower doesn't just write songs, he writes total compositions, and, in my opinion, there is a huge difference. Needless to say, again this is just my own opinion and not the law.

[@rft2001]

@@johnnyr.8852 I agree. Hendrix was great but his songwriting was not as good as Trower's. While I'd call them both psychedelic, Robin is a much more sensitive player and is much more pleasing to the ears.

[@garymartin6802]

Richard's vocals are just beautiful and Robin never plays over him. One of his best compositions from a fine album. I love this

[@raymondshaw7186]

First saw Robin Trower back in 1972 or 1973, been a fan ever since. I get lost in Daydream every time I listen to it. One of the best.

[@davidmaida5282]

"Robin Trower still is and always will be the greatest guitar player in the world!" This is incredibly magnificent and very guitar moody. His intense feel and intense tone always rise above the rest.

[@johnnyr.8852]

David, Thanks for all that you do for Robin Trower! Any idea about when the band might possibly tour again?

[@rft2001]

I totally agree. No one is as good as Trower. His note selection, songwriting, phrasing and sensitivity are incomparable. Robin's playing makes me feel much more than anyone else's. I get tired of other guitarists but can listen to Robin all of the time.

[@douglaschristine8387]

@@rft2001 It's true. Other artists music sometimes sounds the same but Robins has a wide range of different styles in every song. Even when he uses the muted strings like Caledonia or tale untold those songs don't sound alike at all. Keep rocking Robin.

[@alfredh5022]

I have loved RT since the Procol Harum album, A Salty Dog. Whisky Train was a revelation and I wanted more. As one of the last surviving great rock guitarists from that era, Jeff Beck notwithstanding, I applaud his efforts to continue despite all the ageism he has encountered. His productivity has increased, and has inspired my efforts to continue writing and playing music. You're a treasure Robin, thanks for the inspiration!

[@oldoutsider59]

[@davidwilley3609]

Wow like fine wine Robin gets better with age.such tastefull licks.I never liked strats except as a kid I loved Ron woods sunburst maple neck white pickguard . I custom ordered the exact guitar in 1974 ,I believe the one I bought was a ew few years older as they changed out the pickguard . I hated the thin sound of the guitar I loved the fat Gibson sound so the guitar was a thing of beauty that got polished when I pulled out from under my bed, it still had the hang tags and clear plastic pickguard cover that was suppose to get peeled .the smell opening the fender black outer with a inner red orange crush case was intoxicating. The guitar in the pampered unplayed lcondition had I kept and never played in that condition would be 8000 guitar..Now I love the sound of the strat when hearing what this guitar master achieves . I bought a mint Japanese burst rosewood neck 1970s strat at a antique market 10 years ago for $25 and I told someone about it and told him he could have it for 125 .I pulled it out polished it and put the high E string on started listening to bridge of sighs and now I don’t want sell this machine YIKES WHAT DO I DO ? The action is low but the strings seem so tight compared to my 1970s univox les Paul that virtually plays itself. I’m wondering if a tech changed the strings if maybe the guitars action could be loosened up. ? Sounds just like a real fender vintage and looks beautifu just painful to bend and get that good vibrato action?

[@marksheldrick5980]

I would love to see him tour with this band. The singer definitely has James and Davey qualities. That seem to pair with his music like a fine wine with the right meal.

[@robertcostagliola3741]

Robin said this could be the best thing he's ever done but I can tell you that Victims of the Fury and Bridge of Sighs had some remarkably powerful songwriting and playing. Unequaled.

[@mytunes413]

Beautiful, simply beautiful. My wife doesn't listen to Robin with me anymore. States, too dark too sad. Which leaves his music all to me. Haahaahaaa. To absorb every note as it is meant to be. To feel his emotion and all his musical experience. Thanks guys. God bless you all.

[@josemartinvazquez-c1m]

At the end the singer voice is another string of Robin's guitar (Dewar is a different story, my man, 😢). ROBIN, I will never get tired to shout loud and clear.. ROBIN TROWER WAS, IS AND WILL BE THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER EXISTED..!!!! Once more, he is not a human being, no one is capable to do what he does. HE MAKES HIS GUITAR CRY AT DAYDREAM and my spirit leaves to be seated next to me.

Been a long time Robin Trower fan. Started back in High School, his music was good to just sit and listen to, and I also used some of the songs to chill before a track meet. A good friend of mine, and I saw him play back in the 80s in Passaic, NJ. My ears were never the same… To this day, this music just resonates with me (yeah, I know).

on "No More Worlds To Conquer" this song is the one that sounds closest to the classic Trower trio of the 70's. Watts' seems to channel James Dewar's voice here. Trower's guitar is so assured, the lines are so beautifully rendered, it's as good as any of his renowned early work.
