My name is Chris Galloway. On the evening of july4th, 1982; my first wife who was pregnant with our daughter Lindsey were driving down a lonely 2 lane texas farm to market road when we were unexpectedly smashed into by a drunk driver that was driving a 3/4 ton pick-up right directly into our 1973 Toyota corolla. "No seat belts" it was a hit and run . I ripped my federal artery clean out of my right leg. It took them almost 3 hours to cut me out of the mangled mass and I actually died twice during the carnage! Glad to say we all 3 survived in the end; but the song on the radio being played was "Bridge of Sighs!" Every time I hear this song I feel like I am back there all over again. Great song that I think helped save my ass . God bless Robin Trower group. And just to let you know; both times my heart stopped beating; I was looking down on the mangled mess watching the medics working on my wife Karen and cutting me out of the car. True true story. Praise God and the Trower group for getting me through it all......

But they'll listen to the Stones, Led Zep, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, The Beatles, Journey, Foreigner, Marvin Gaye, Hendrix, Michael Jackson, 60s soul, the Beach Boys, and others, all day long. Today's music companies have completely lost the plot.

I hadn't ever heard this song before, then I got some internet radio station that played deep cuts of classic rock, they played it and my mind was blown. Still can't figure how I hadn't heard this before. Hauntingly beautiful.

I'm so glad I grew up listening to music like this from the 70's. I'm also glad I got to see Trower twice with James Dewar on vocals. ☮️♥️🎶

Not sure if most people know what the Bridge of Sighs is. You can now walk the Bridge of Sighs in Venice as a tourist. It is an enclosed bridge that goes from the back of the royal church at San Marco square to the prison, directly behind the church, over one of the many water ways in Venice. The church, back in the old days, served as the court. If you were found guilty by the church of some crime and sentenced to the gallows (to die), then after sentencing you'd be taken across the bridge, where there is a single opening in the side wall of the enclosed bridge. You were allowed to pause, look out the window across the water for a final look at the outside world, have a moment (to sigh)... and then they'd take you away, forever. The haunting and lonely song is derived perfectly from the real history of the bridge. Still gives me shivers when I think of it now, as I thought of the song when I was on the bridge looking out at the water and town on the coast, looking out at that same view as the many poor souls before me did.

One of the greatest guitar players that ever existed.

James Dewar was a great singer, great song & album.

Trower has been my favorite guitarist/songwriter since I was 16! Now I'm 62, and still play all his albums often. His recent stuff is very bluesy, and draw authenticity from his personal life. Like "Good Morning Midnight", which seems to be a lament for his late wife. Talk about being genuine, this hits home like a ton of bricks.

My brain thanks me every time !! This sound is syrup...just oozes into your sense's... Thanks Robin and James n Skins for a unique blend !!!

Was driving a 1970 Lincoln Mark III up Coal Creek Canyon playing this on ten one afternoon after work when I was T-Boned by a 3/4 ton dodge pick up. saw it coming and knew my legs were going to be pinned under the bridgework. He went through the windshield and ended up in an ambulance headed back down the canyon. I got out the passenger door, wandered around to the driver side to see it was totally demolished bumper to bumper, and standing there in a daze realized I was still listening to Bridge Of Sighs from inside the car. Great Song - Great car. Knew at that moment I would live forever.
