Robin Trower - Long Misty Days (1976)


"Long Misty Days" chugs along with the intesity of all Trower's blues-driven rock albums, and is a solid listen. However, "In City Dreams" is the ultimate listening experience. The atmosphere on this album is THICK. It's 40 minutes of hypnotic listening, from the haunting "Somebody Calling" to the optimistic "Smile" to the incredible title track. The guitar work is impeccable; the songwriting phenomenal. Very nice work however. In City Dreams has very slick low register guitar lines in it that really stick in your head. It's a moderate tempo piece that rolls along and takes you with it. I've heard people say that Robin is trying to rip off Jimi Hendrix. Nothing is further from the truth. If you've listen to Jimi at all and then Robin, the difference is night and day. They have two completely different techniques and sounds. Nobody will ever replace Jimi, and like wise no one will ever replace Robin either.
