DAY OF THE EAGLE: The Best Of Robin Trower culls 17 tracks from the artist's tenure with Chrysalis Records in the 1970s, a period generally considered to be Trower's best. The 17 tracks here provide a powerful overview of the guitarist's fiery blues-rock aesthetic, from the in-your-face attack of "Day Of The Eagle" to the power ballad "Long Misty Days." Although Trower is often labeled as a Jimi Hendrix acolyte, his terrain is much closer to the hard rock of Foghat and Bad Company. DAY OF THE EAGLE will take '70s hard rock fans back to the golden age, and also serves as a perfect introduction to the work of this talented rocker. Originally a member of Procol Harum but soon left to pursue a solo career throughout the '70s, English guitarist Robin Trower was a staple on FM radio alongside many other great Classic Rock artists. Often compared to Jimi Hendrix due to his bluesy Psychedelic style Trower releases his collection has been digitally re-mastered and includes cuts from the Rock legend.
PERSONNEL: Robin Trower (vocals, guitar, guitars); James Dewar (vocals, bass guitar); Reg Isidore, Bill Lordan (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion).
DAY OF THE EAGLE: The Best of Robin Trower goes a long way toward providing a definitive best-of culled from his early and most definitive works as a solo artist. This 17-cut selection is compiled from the eight albums that documented his greatest commercial success, beginning with 1973's Twice Removed From Yesterday and ending with 1980's Victims Of The Fury, all of them recorded for Chrysalis Records. This is not to suggest that Trower's work lessened in quality. Not at all. It's simply that his visibility and his place in the spotlight were greatest during these years. The set blasts out of the gate with one of the quintessential examples of Trower's pure blazing rock power with "Day Of The Eagle" from the flawless Bridge Of Sighs recording. It's followed by the silvery blues that is "Caledonia" from 1976's Long Misty Days. The blues ratchets up to overdriven rock with the sinister "Confessin' Midnight" off 1975's For Earth Below. The minor complaint here is that selections from the 1976 Robin Trower Live! album were substituted for the original versions. This is minor, but still, it would have been nice to hear the full-on solid squall version of "Too Rolling Stoned" rather than the raved-up, muddy-sounding live one. Some of the nice touches are the inclusion of ''Long Misty Days'' title cut, one of the finest ballads to come from a power trio ever and other excellent ballads here are "About To Begin" and "Daydream". Also included is the scorching B-side "Take A Fast Train'' from 1973 that backed Twice Removed From Yesterday's title track. It needs to be mentioned that the title cut from 1977's In City Dreams marked beautiful new terrain for the trio that had replaced drummer Reg Isidore with Bill Lordan and let Dewar simply front the band as lead vocalist when they acquired the talent of Sly & The Family Stone bassist Rusty Allen. In sum, this set is solid from top to bottom, with a good liner essay by Phil Sutcliffe that may be a bit much on hyperbole, but nonetheless provides a well-researched professional biography in a small amount of space.
