Bridge Of Sighs (Remastered Expanded Edition, Incl. 5 Bonus Tracks) (1974)

"This remains the guitarists most stunning, representative, and consistent collection of tunes. Mixing obvious Hendrix influences with blues and psychedelia, then adding the immensely soulful vocals of James Dewar, Trower pushed the often limited boundaries of the power trio concept into refreshing new waters. The concept gels best in the first track, "Day of the Eagle," where the opening riff rockingly morphs into the dreamy washes of gooey guitar chords that characterize the album's distinctive title track that follows. At his best, Trower's gauzy sheets of oozing, wistful sound and subtle use of wah-wah combine with Dewar's whisky-soaked soul-drenched vocals to take a song like the wistful ballad "In This Place" into orbit. One of the few Robin Trower albums without a weak cut, A timeless work, as well as the crown jewel in Trower's extensive yet inconsistent catalog." (Hal Horowitz, Allmusic)
