I’ll tell you guys, I attended a RT gig at the Wembley Empire Pool (London) in early 1976 and it blew me away. I thought Deep Purple was loud but Robin tore my ear drums out, as he should have. The biggest criticism of him at that time (i.e. the mid 70s) was that he was a Jimi rip-off, but he wasn’t. Of course, Robin with his Strat had an obvious JH flavour but he carved out his own rock stance and was incredibly popular with the post-Woodstock audience. Bridge of Sighs always will be an iconic blues guitar album, which I still listen to on a regular basis!!

Robin Trower was a massive fan of Hendrix. Check out his tribute to Hendrix, "Daydream", very reminiscent in style to "The Wind Cries Mary". Also, check out the heartbreakingly beautiful "Bluebird. The vocalist, Jimmy Dewar (R.I.P.), has such a soulful voice. The guitar solos in "Bluebird" are very understated but all the more spectacular because he mimics birdsong.

While Procol Harem was a good experience for Robin, it really was his stepping off point to become his greatest success on his own. Back in the 90s when I bartended at a resort hotel in Oakland, I was serving Dbl Crown Royals to Stevie Ray Vaughn (just before he went sober). I asked Stevie what he thought of Robin Trower. Stevie said he would love to work with Robin on stage sometime. Sadly, Stevie got called home before such a profound session ever took place.

Daydream from Robin's live album is a great one.Try that one.Another great from the '70's is Frank Marino.try him out.Thanks for this one!
Find Seven Moons album - Jack Bruce & Trower - react to The Last Door. Cream anyone?
Robin NEVER sings any vocals, not even backing vocals. James Dewar, on Bass, sang all of the vocals. James had an incredibly soulful voice. He died in 2002 (59) from complications of a series of strokes
The Fool and Me is a great one to do next.

Amazing Tone "Fool and me"sounds like JH s "Dolly Dagger"song...
Yeah ! wobble head and good wobble pop. Stir the pot grind crank the champ and strat.
James Dewar sings but he's passed on
Love 💜 Trower. Great reaction. (First listen to your channel.)
The reason Robin Trower didn't get the recognition was Jimi Hendrix was on the scene a little earlier. In 67 Trower joined Poco Harum was a smash but he was just the guitar player. In my opinion I like Hendrix but I think Trower is a cleaner and better player so underrated.

Robin didn't play on A Whiter shade of pale ,he replaced Ray Royer soon after,its a common mistake made by non Procol Harum fans.
You like blues? Check out “Blues Man” by Stephen Stills. Just him and an acoustic guitar.

I don't have the cassette tapes of Robin Trower anymore, who does? So a couple of weeks ago I bought "The Best of Robin Trower" and have been playing it non-stop.
Having heard Trower live...I take exception to the comparison with Jimi Hendrix. Yeah...both infuse the blues into their playing. But Hendrix was bullied into performing guitar “tricks” to entice his audience. A practice by which Trower has no obligation to anyone.

@@fabricio4794 I’m a musician - but I’m not blinded by my adoration for style and technique to determine which of the great guitar players is “the best.” Even Hendrix had a favorite guitar player…so IMO - your opinion is pointless. 🤷🏻♀️

Pretty sure it's a univibe not a phaser. But they are similar.
Just react to For Earth Below. It will blow your mind
Lol! These guys are a little clueless! James Dewar R.I.P. on bass/vocals! Trower was/is one of the greatest! Sick!

You need patience for that 😝 you sure it’s not attention span ? Or not blues men , because that’s the gem of the song , that man is muddying the waters !
Gotta get me a Stratocaster.
If you want to double down on this song kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKaEmbKApMStlqg.html Covered by Stevie Salas and Sass Jordan. Both great in their own right and wonderful together.
