Free Music Notes for Seven MoonsFree Music Review: Too Long Hit: 5 StarsThis 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 StarsI 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.
Free Music Review: Seven Moons Hit: 5 StarsJack Bruce and Robin Trower are both great musicians, and this CD with them together is a really good showcase for both of them.
Free Music Review: Album of the year Hit: 5 StarsThis is the album of the year. I was unaware these 2 were even a tag team until a friend turmed me on to 7 Moons.
By the way...caught Robin at the House of Blues in Atlantic City this past weekend.
Oustanding show. He's getting old but he still boogies.
Free Music Review: sevsn moons critique Hit: 3 StarsInteresting reunion of two veteran artists with a good blend of rock and blues.Classic Trower licks and strong song writing from Jack Bruce (reverting back to his older styles). Nothing mind blowing but solid music nonetheless more an album for die hard fans.I am glad these guys keep collaborating over the years because the results are always satisfying.
