Free Music Review: Razor sharp guitar and great tunes
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the recent re-releases from Wounded Bird Records, Robin Trower's "Take What You Need" is probably his best later period work, alongside "Passion" and the much underrated "Someday Blues".
Trower acolytes know this master of the Strat is much much more than a mere clone of Hendrix. He has a great contemporary flair that shows full force on "Take What You Need."
The star of the show is Trower's astonishingly fluid, melodic solos that still manage to drop your jaws to the floor. Davey Pattison is a fine vocalist with a silky smooth delivery that complements Trower's chorus soaked guitar.
The title track is one of the great songs of Trower's career. Here the vocal melodies and guitar weave in and out and Trower turns in one of the most emotional solos he's ever done. "I Want You Home" is dangerously funky with a great beat that should have lit up the radio waves, but unfortunately didn't. "Shattered" is a flash and dazzle tour de force from Trower that should erase any doubt that he belongs in the pantheon of greats, a worthy equal of Hendrix, Jeff Beck or Frank Zappa.
Synthesizers float underneath the mix, making tracks breathe without becoming saccharine sweet. "Take What You Need", like its predecessor "Passion" should have put Robin in the same league consumer-wise as Clapton. Trower is a far better guitarist, but the music industry being the fickle and illogical business it is, he just hasn't received his due. Getting this CD is a good start to rectify the situation.
