Back It Up album Product Description



Back It Up album by Robin Trower was released Aug 25, 1999 on the Beat Goes On label. After two albums with singer Jack Bruce, Robin Trower brought back original vocalist James Dewar for his 1983 release Back It Up. Longtime fans surely hoped for another Bridge of Sighs, but by this time the songwriting had been reduced to pedestrian hard rock, with only occasional flashes of the old cosmic brilliance. Both "The River" and "Benny Dancer" have some of the old edge, and the instrumental "Island" is one of the most beautiful songs Trower ever did. Unfortunately, however, this record was ignored by the old fans (many of whom were now busy starting families and toting briefcases), and it was hard for him to win over a new audience when haircut bands like Culture Club flooded both the radio and the latest media sensation -- MTV. ~ Peter Kurtz Remastered Reissue Of 1983 Release With James Dewar On Bass & Vocals. Liner Note Author: Alan Robinson. Recording information: Wessex Studios, London, England. Personnel: Robin Trower (guitar); James Dewar (vocals, bass); Dave Bronze (bass); Alan Clarke (drums).   ...See Full Description

Play easy
Very good CD from Robin Trower, this excellente guitarrist that loves Jimi Hendrix; as us. Each song is great, enjoyable and played with a perfect technique. All the guitar works are great. The band are perfect at all. Play easy, anywhere, anytime.

TROWER POWER
While not his best album, each track is enjoyable with Trower usual guitar riffs. Dewar's lead vocals are solid.Remastering is excellent. A must for Trower fans

Can't believe this was the last album
At the time of its release Back It Up seemed like Trower was back on top, having taken a step up from the decent but "not-quite-there" tired-sounding songs on Victims of Fury. Back It Up featured some very gut-moving song writing and a fresh feel to the music again. It was a complete joy to listen to. Whereas Victims of Fury was a nice movement away from the Caravan to Midnight wah wah pop funk sound, some of that was still present in Victims; none was in Back It Up. The sound of this album was more raw and honest and powerful than any album other than Bridge of Sighs. Like Led Zeppelin's final album In Through the Outdoor in 1979, which was argued as Zeppelin's most "listenable" -- and truly so in my opinion -- Robin Trower's Back It Up was perhaps Trower's best effort as well. Of course Bridge of Sighs is probably the masterwork of the group, the music Trower will most be remembered for, but after eight or nine years the Back It Up sound was mature and confident and deserving of a whole lot more airplay than it ever received in my opinion.

Good album to jam to!
During a period when Robin was not producing much and having band problems Robin really comes up with some good riffs on this one. Effects are kept to a minimum which is unlike him but he comes through no doubt. Captain Midnight and Black and Red are R & B masterpieces turned up real loud. Benny Dancer is a great long jam in the tradition of Bridge of Sighs and Too Rolling Stoned with lots and lots of feedback. Get this one, sit back and enjoy with the rest of his repertoire!!!
