Those who favor electric guitarists who can play live what they record in the studio will be very impressed with the "Robin Trower Live" album - especially the cut "Daydream". While often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower never received the publicity nor same volume of fans.

Bridge Of Sighs
Robin Trower Lyrics


The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
To wash me clean

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
To wash me clean

Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing bridge of sighs

Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child

Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child

Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing bridge of sighs

"Bridge Of Sighs"

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
To wash me clean

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
To wash me clean
Why so unforgiving, and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child

Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child

Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

In the beginning he was the guitarist for Procul Harem. I saw him many times. In the late 60`s getting good sustain on your guitar was difficult, and he had great sustain. We were playing the Grande Ballroom and Procul played that night. I looked at his Marshall amp and saw he was playing through an Ampex tape recorder as a preamp to get his sound. I was floored. In order to be on time he had to play just slightly ahead of the rest of the band. I told him he was the best.

Wow. I was just commenting on a political site that the staccato guitar and lyrics of Pictures of Matchstick Men fit the political moment so well. That song is like an acid trip itself.

One of the most underrated artists of the 70’s era. Trower’s β€˜Bridge of Sighs’ album is up there with Pink Floyd imho. It’s a work of art
