Robin Trower: Bridge Of Sighs: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Doug Collette
Upon Robin Trower's departure from Procol Harum in 1971, he initiated his solo career with Twice Removed From Yesterday (Chrysalis, 1973). It was an understated debut to be sure, the entire first side virtually a suite of dream-like tracks such as the fervent “I Can't Wait Much Longer." The guitarist's debt to Jimi Hendrix was only ...
Blues With A Feeling: Luther Dickinson & JD Simo; Charlie Hunter & Jubu Smith; Mick Fleetwood & Jake Shimabukuro
by Doug Collette
The blues is more about feel than form, but even so, the genre has its readily-recognizable structures. The A-A-B lyric format, shuffles in varying tempos and the 12-bar configuration are all stock-in-trade frameworks. Still, the essential simplicity of the blues lends itself to innumerable variations and so it is with these contemporary collaborative works of Luther ...

Robin Trower: Coming Closer to the Day
by Doug Collette
Upon departing Procol Harum in the early Seventies, guitarist Robin Trower embarked upon a solo career in which he has proved himself both prolific and consistent (like the imagistic cover art of the albums). Completely absorbing by its finish, Coming Closer to the Day reaffirms those virtues and belies the intimations of mortality in its title. ...

My best of the year lists have traditionally been predicated upon having reviewed the releases chosen, but with only a relative handful of reviews to choose from this year (and with those choices, more than ever now, ...
The Vintage Years 1970 - 1991
by John Kelman
There are bands that manage to carve out a place for themselves in the music world that lasts for decades; there are others who, while having created a name for themselves during their peak years and, while they continue to tour and, even, make the occasional studio album, are invariably best remembered for their seminal early ...
