What Lies Beneath album Product Description

What Lies Beneath album by Robin Trower was released Aug 04, 2009 on the V12 label. Though Robin Trower found his greatest career success in the mid-1970s, his intensely soulful brand of Jim Hendrix-inspired psychedelic blues-rock guitar playing helped him maintain a healthy audience decades past his commercial heyday. What Lies Beneath songs During his long career he worked with several different singers, most notably ex-Stone the Crows bassist James Dewar. Surprisingly, however, Trower himself never assumed sole lead vocal duties until 2009's WHAT LIES BENEATH. Fortunately, the veteran rocker reveals himself to be possessed of earthy, R&B-influenced pipes often reminiscent of J.J. Cale and Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler. On the majority of tracks, including highlights "Time and Emotion" and "Wish You Were Mine," the London native favors a mellower, more ethereal approach that will please lovers of vintage fan favorites "Daydream" and "I Can't Wait Much Longer." That said, there are a few nods to Trower's "Day of the Eagle"/"Too Rolling Stoned"-style power-blues numbers of yore, especially on the viciously funky, Thin Lizzy-esque "Skin and Bone" and the muscular, hooky "Freefall." As with the majority of Robin Trower's catalog, however, the most striking feature about WHAT LIES BENEATH is the man's utter mastery of electric guitar tone and phrasing, and this is ultimately what will put listeners under the virtuoso axe-slinger's aural spell. ...See Full Description

Not the trower I love
I personally found this music hard to listen to and I'm a big trower fan now owning all his music out and disappointed with this CD maybe I'm missing the intent of the direction taken but Robin thanks for all the memories!

Great diversity, and well recorded.
Very good offering from Robin Trower. The instrumentals are really soothing and almost jazz-like on a few numbers. I for one like Robin's vocals on this CD as they blend really well with his rockin-blusey style of guitar. If you like classic Trower then you will want to add this to your collection. Very solid indeed!!!

Great new material
This is a great record all the way thru, and I got a big kick out of hearing Robin sing his songs. I guess we all knew he was a talented guy, right? It's a pretty mellow set, the recording is very good, the guitar playing is outstanding and true to form. He really sounds hendrixy on some of these songs I think because he is playing and singing, just really grooving. So this is a serious effort and Robins written diary and vocals give us great insight into our hero!

It grows on you
Another scintillating guitar extravaganza from the "master of the telecaster" Robin Trower. Robin actually sings on this album but it's the guitar that will take you far away. This might be his best album since the departure of the late, great Jimmy Dewar. Even Trowers' vocals will grow on you after awhile, with several songs recalling Hendrix' breathy singing on Electric Ladyland. For Trower fans, a true feast!

Solid from start to finish
This is a solid Trower cd from start to finish. A little bit of everything on this one. Instrumentals, Blues,Rock, and vocals performed by Robin himself. A few added instruments in the mix really help to spice it up and the production is good too!!! Best Robin Trower recording in years & well deserving of some serious radio airplay.
