Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs

Guitarist Robin Trower's watershed sophomore solo disc remains his most stunning, representative, and consistent collection of tunes. This 24-bit digitally remastered 25th anniversary reissue, which tacks on five live tracks adding nearly 25 minutes to the original playing time, actually improves upon the original. Mixing obvious Hendrix influences with blues and psychedelia, then adding the immensely soulful vocals of James Dewer, Robin Trower pushed the often limited boundaries of the power trio concept into refreshing new waters. The concept gels best in the first track, "Day of the Eagle," where the opening riff rocking morphs into the dreamy washes of gooey guitar chords that characterize the album's distinctive title track that follows. Album Description

Excellent Purchase

I have always liked this CD.....but only had it on cassette tape. The CD format is much better, it includes extra outtake of some of the songs. August 16, 2008

The quintessential 70's rock album.

If you're a fan of 70's guitar-driven rock, you must have this album in your collection. "Day of the Eagle", Little Bit of Sympathy" & "Too Rolling Stoned" are standards of the genre. I'm typically either disappointed or enthralled by Trower's work, but this album goes beyond that. This is one of those iconic rock LP's like Dark Side Of The Moon, Black Sabbath, Tres Hombres or Who's Next that every classic rock fan must have. And the Bonus tracks are just that: "BONUS!"

Best Rock Album

Pulled my 1974 album out from storage as after 15 years for Dad's day my kids bought me the Emerson stereo system - which works great! This is a great rock album. Puts today's music in it's place which is 3rd rate compared to the Bridge of Sighs. I've listened to my kids music for years and most of it can't compare to the craftsman of the 70s and 80s. Can't go wrong with this album (CD) if you love guitar solos and great vocals. Emerson NR303TT Heritage Series 4-in-1 Home Music System June 15, 2008
