Free Music Notes for Seven Moons
Free Music Review: Very Good
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been listening to & buying Robin Trowers CD's & DVD's for a few years now and like the sound of his guitar and as for Jack Bruce who I haven't heard from in a while as I have an Album he released years ago on Vinyl in reasonable condition so when I saw the CD Seven Moons with Jack Bruce & Robin Trower had to buy it and thought it was very good Recommended. Free Music Review: A Great Pairing
Hit: 4 Stars
First, I should say that Jack and Robin sound very inspired. The two veterans seem to be putting their best foot forward in a collection of familar yet fresh compositions; Some sound like they could have been right out of the Cream era, with Jack Bruce's winding vocal and bass lines; Robin Trower fits right in, offering some fairly inspired guitar playing. And while I haven't always been a huge fan of some of Bruce's singing, the instrumental parts never let you down. It's nice to hear these guys showing what they can do after all these years. The only real issue I had was w/some of the vocal melodies; But great playing, production, and in-the-pocket drumming by Gary Husband. A refreshing surprise from people who still deserve our attention.Free Music Review: ummm...
Hit: 3 Stars
I was glad that I was able to preview this first or I probably would have bought it - but then maybe it would have grown on me. I liked the first two Trower/Bruce collaborations a lot, and was happily surprised to see there was a new one. However I was disappointed the tracks didn't have the funkiness of the first two albums, and thought Bruce's voice sounded a bit lackluster. But then again, it might have grown on me if I had bought it...
For what it's worth, I have been a Trower fan for a long time, although I don't listen to him so much any more, and Disraeli Gears was one of the first albums I ever bought. I don't think I'll be buying this one though, at least not new.
Free Music Review: Too Long
Hit: 5 Stars
This is truly an album that has been too long in the making... I don't know that it took them long to record but honestly, as a long time fan of both Robin Trower and Jack Bruce, I eagerly waited the follow up to both BLT and Truce!!! To me, this was the first "supergroup". And the albums didn't disappoint as all fans know.
Seven Moons picks up right where those first two releases left off without a doubt. The Bluesy Rock sounds of yesterday and today are alive and well. It's just a shame that we had to wait 25 years.
Free Music Review: No tired rehash or musical mishmash here!
Hit: 4 Stars
I really had not expected to like "Seven Moons," this latest pairing between Jack Bruce and Robin Trower, and I avoided listening to it for some time. To be honest, I had not really liked much in their previous work together and feared this latest recording would be a tired rehash or mishmash of incongruent musical personalities. It's not.
Although a retro vibe infuses the album, instead of just coasting through these new compositions, these veteran rockers must have just figured, "what have we got to lose." Instead of locking horns in a jazz vs. psychedelic rock tug-of-war, they compliment one another's strengths and sound surprising fresh.
Mr. Bruce's vocals sound stronger, more sure-throated than they have in some time and there is no denying he is on top of his game as rock's finest bassist. Mr. Trower may still have Hendrix's muse perched on his shoulder, but he keeps his playing more reigned in and less shrill, making it more all the more listenable. Drummer Gary Husband is the unsung (so to speak) hero here as he does more than keep time: he manages to keep his esteemed colleagues playing on a bit slower tempo and enables the undercurrent of blues to steer this session more than might have been expected.
