Couple React To Robin Trower- Too Rolling Stoned

[@royleggitt3307]

This is the definition of buried treasure, anywhere you drop the needle on this album is pure gold!

I concur

Kids today with music on-demand as individual songs will never get that thrill it was to drop the needle onto a new LP and hear it for the first time, as a complete work.

[@billjonas9902]

It is a delight to see how much you enjoyed Robin Trower. When this album dropped in '74, it blasted from every dorm room. Great times. 70 yo here. Peace.

[@jettechdonatkins]

This album needs to be listened to non stop from side to side.Each song compliments the next.A very good album by Robin Trower.

[@forearthbelow]

@jet, 👍👍TOTALLY agree. The next track, About To Begin, lifts this track to a higher level imho, a fan from his Procol Harum days

[@independenceltd.]

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.

[@timhuggins7069]

There's not a bad song on the whole album. Bought the album in 1975 still listen to it time and time again.

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.

[@thewalkingsaid]

just checked out his new album. Coupla outstanding cuts. Thanks for the heads up. BTW you might like my music channel Slice AH Life...

[@tempestparadox8857]

The Bridge of Sighs album came out in 1974. Give the track Daydream a try. Trower has numerous great songs to experience.

[@denystull355]

Daydream was on the first album, Twice Removed from Yesterday, and the title track ain't bad either. Though Hannah on that album is a space jam deluxe.

[@BakerStreetShootout]

There are a few albums I would classify as masterpieces. Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, and Pink Floyd’s Darkside of the Moon. I can listen to those albums from start to finish easily.

[@jamesnation9889]

@@denystull355 "Hannah" is one of my all-time Trower faves. Awesome! Good call.

Trower!! One of my favorite guitarists...it's a shame so few of today's listeners have heard of him. He's still playing and recording too. Thanks for exposing him to a new generation. 👏

Man how I love this track, heard it in my late teens & freaked. Trower just rips this & its got everything.. blues, rock, funk, fusion, you name it & Dewar’s voice is like some amazing hard black soul dude. It’s truly a remarkable piece that’ll stand the test of time eons after we’re all gone. Trower your awesome man, thank you 🙏👏

The best track on the album imho is “a little bit of sympathy “ followed closely by “its about to begin” but you can play any track off that particular album it’s all good!

[@davidd5407]

Could not agree more.

[@HarryGuit]

Why always these ratings? This album is full of great songs. Depending on a daily mood, the one or the other are closer to what I need right now. Music should be free of competition and all about cooperation.

[@SIR-DanielHunter]

So glad you two playing my guy. I seen him live in 1978 they are spectacular after seeing him I started incorporating his style in my guitar work. That whole album was excellent. They the Bridge of Sighs another great. If listen to his solo you will hear people clapping in the background it sounds live but it is just the hangers of groupies getting Into the great guitar work

[@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.

[@7thkansascav468]

Robin Trower and James Dewar were magic together, sadly James is no longer with us. But Robin is still touring and recording.

[@pamagnolia]

Outstanding. Haven’t heard that in years. Thanks. It was introduced in 1974.

[@mikebrown1152]

Had this on a cassette tape in 1974 and smoked good weed and played it in my car. I thought of Robin as a white Jimi Hendrix.

[@edmiley729]

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.

[@robertbosley982]

I have seen Trower in the last 5 years at the bluesfest in Windsor and way back in 1980 for the Victim of the Fury tour at Masonic Temple in Detroit....what a show....this guy came from a group called Procol Harum , and went solo since I would say 1972....recommended albums would be this album (Bridge of Sighs) and Twice Removed From Yesterday....some great songs would be Daydream, Day of the Eagle, Bridge of Sighs, Hannah, Jack and Jill, Victim of the Fury, Lady Love, I can't wait much longer etc.

[@tctoguy]

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.

This one album should be in everybody's collection. I was lucky enough to be around when it came out. Just one of those cases where everything came together: songs, playing, recording. Robin Trower, James Dewar and Reg Isidore recorded other good material, but this album is the one. Nice to see it appreciated.

[@daledassel5658]

Trower is a British player who still tours. I graduated in 74. Had this tape as soon as it came out. Never gets old!

[@SIR-DanielHunter]

What i admire about robin trowyer is he is 20 years older than me but I seen live a few years ago and robin is still just as good as he was in the day. 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 entire Bridge of Sighs album is a classic. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. 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.

[@alexo5861]

Yes he was, but after they recorded “A Whiter Shade of Pale”.

[@jeffreybooth5129]

Procol harum are my favourite band of all time.

[@texanfournow]

TNT, just gave you the 1,000th like for this video, great job! You have to check out some live Trower videos. He's still playing at the tender age of 77! Unfortunately, James Dewar (vocals/bass) died 20 years ago. He sang with such soul he could make you cry. BTW, Trower was also in Procol Harum with Gary Brooker (ala Whiter Shade of Pale, among other 1960s hits). So my very first concert was Robin Trower at the Masonic Temple in Detroit in 1974 when I was a teen. Trower had Marshall stacks lined up behind him. One of them caught fire but Robin kept playing while roadies tried to put out the fire. The other thing that I remember is that our seats were up in the rafters and my ears were ringing for days afterward. But I loved it and have been a fan since. Fast forward 34 years and I took my young son (who had just started playing guitar at age ten) to see Trower at the Meridian in Houston in 2008. Trower opened with "Twice Removed from Yesterday" and I thought I had gone back into a time warp. No seats, so we all pushed to get as close to the stage as possible...my son was just a few feet away from Robin. And the opening act was the Mighty Orq, a Texas blues musician. He saw my son at the front of the crowd and after his set he came down and gave one of his guitar picks to my son. Quite the experience! Thank you TNT for taking me down memory lane. And enjoy some more Trower Power!

[@astroteech]

Thank you so much for getting this group. I was blessed to see them twice live during this era of 70's progressive rock. The bass player and vocalist, James Dewar, was so important to the sound of this 3 man power trio. He had as much influence on the band as Robert Plant did to the Who, plus he was an awesome 3-man power-trio bass player. He is often overshadowed by Robin Trower. I got to see Robin Trower in 1976 when Sammy Hagar, recently departing from Montrose (omg "Montrose") was the opening act.

You are right on. Robin Trower goes from funky to blues seamlessly. James Dewar's base line holds the line between both and his voice is haunting.

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

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." 💚💚💚
