Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs (1974)

Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs (1974)

 Now here is an album that you absolutely must hear before you are "Too Rolling Stoned" !  Bridge Of Sighs is a classic rock album that I have loved for a long time and still come back to as one of "The" great rock albums.  Robin Trower made a name for himself while in Procol Harum and as good as he was on albums like "Home" it is Bridge of Sighs where he really shines.  This album breathes BIG time with a certain patience (not unlike the Dark Side Of The Moon) with its bluesy rock vibes and echo effects and guitar phrasing.  Trower mixes Hendrix rock with blues and psychedelia which is sung thru the soulful vocals of James Dewar and Reg Isadore's bass (same guy that was on both David Gilmour and Peter Green).
