Free Music Review: Best of The Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD has NOTHING TO DO WITH HENDRIX!!! I Know Robin & he is Robin thats that!!!! The CD is excellent. The vocals alone on Track 1 are so special. Turn it up and listen to Jacks expressions! Especially how he says Twee instead of Tree! It must have been an amazing time in that studio. As with any of Robins CD's LOOT was so good I could not imagine what this one would sound like! But when I got it,,, It took me a few listens of course.. but WOW I cannot imagine how these 2 men were together getting the cd together. Two Musical Geniouses! This music can NEVER be compared to anything else, maybe an older Trower/Bruce Compilation,m BUt that is it. to say Robin and Hendrix in the same sentence,,, Oh Man you have no idea!!!Free Music Review: 1st review without having yet received the cd
Hit: 5 Stars
I will give this 5 stars and I have only heard the samples so far. I will write another review after I get the cd. I am a huge Trower fan and it just
baffles me how under the radar and ignored he is considering his huge talent. If you are a fan of soulful electric guitar improvisation and killer tone - this is the guy. IMO he is right up there with the best. It is a joke that no store here in El Paso even has the cd. I ordered it on Amazon and will have to wait a few days. I am pretty confident that it will live up to my expectations, especially with Jack Bruce on vocals. As another reviewer mentioned, uncompromising is what it is all about.
Free Music Review: Stunning tone..sheer guitar beauty
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't know what to tell prospective buyers when they have to read reviews such as the one entitled "a middling effort". If you don't understand the sonic beauty of one of rock's most under-rated giants then please don't write reviews. This is an amazing disc. The subtleties in Trower's guitar tones are worthy of hours of discussion. Jack Bruce's singing is just superb and the drumming is great. This is an incredible extension and improvement upon the earlier BLT efforts..especially in the area of extended soloing which was unusual and strangly abrupt in the first two albums years ago. Robin Trower is as good a blues guitarist as anyone out there today...In my opinion the fact that he plays in the harder rock lexicon restricts many a blues -guitar purist from appreciateing his incredible control and tone. Thank you Robert Fripp for being one of the few to express in writing Trower's greatness.Free Music Review: A Middling Effort
Hit: 3 Stars
As a long-time fan of both Jack Bruce and Robin Trower, I eagerly anticipated the release of this collaboration, their first in a quarter-century. Alas, it has proven to be somewhat disappointing.
Many of the tunes are similar in tempo, melody and mix, and all feature strictly guitar, bass and drums, lacking any keyboard or harp adornment, which they had employed to good effect on their earlier efforts. The lyrics also leave a lot to be desired, as all the songs are written by Bruce and Trower, without any contributions from long-time Bruce lyricists Pete Brown and Kip Hanrahan.
Some of the live-in-the-studio grooves that are explored are pleasant enough listening, but the bottom line is that this CD is one I don't expect to play very often.
Free Music Review: Classic visionary psychedelic rock
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the third album from these two legends. Jack of course the man who singlehandedly revolutionized the electric bass as the mastermind and creative force behind one of the greatest bands ever: Cream. Whereas Robin graced the first five classic Procol Harum albums with some fiery, melodic guitar, before he had a revelation hearing Jimi Hendrix, which changed his playingstyle forever. So it's not surprising that this album really is 'Cream meets Hendrix' psychedelic blues at its finest.
It was painfully obvious at the otherwise historic and wonderful Cream-reunion shows in 2005 that Jack -due to cancer and a near-fatal livertransplant - was only a shadow of himself, esecially as vocalist, although he certainly put in a marvelous effort. But here his expressive, emotional and golden voice is back. And his bassplaying solid, inventive and inspired.
Robin shows that few others have grasped not only the sound and tone but also the spirit of Hendrix as deeply and profound as he. The drummer in this powertrio is the brilliant Gary Husband, a long time Bruce-collaborator, who has also played with Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin, and here he shines on every track with classic triorockdrumming, rather Mitch Mitchell-like.
The album is more or less recorded live in the studio, the vibes deep and spontaneous. The songs, all written by Bruce and Trower, great. The lyrics for the most part philosophical and spiritual with lines like: "Wanna stay where the light is streaming/ Find the one who's dreaming me".
A must for everyone into psychedelic rock and pure uncommercial, uncompromising MUSIC.
