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. From the title tune "Back It Up" to the highly accessible "River" to the hot guitar work on "None But the Brave" and the sultry "Settle Up the Score", this album rates as one of my all time favorites in the rock genre. It was a great comeback album for Trower in that his style returned full circle back to the simple rock of his earlier days, with no weak attempts at a kind of "Trower pop sound" that was present in the late 1970's. It must be said and not forgotten that James Dewar's lyrics and singing were integral to the Trower style. However, in my opinion he was not cut out to be a pop lyricist. Dewar was always a whole lot deeper than most. You always believed Dewar had been where he sang about. Most of his writing over the years possessed honesty. Some a penchant for the interesting and original maxim. None was trite. His words and performance were always soulful par excellence. I usually don't listen to Trower albums but what I really find myself getting into the lyrics or the sound or both. That's why I always take an old cassette tape I put together many years ago in my car. In case I get tired while I'm driving Trower is one of the tapes I can put in the machine that wakes me up. I end up singing as loudly as Dewar and 'presto' I'm wide awake. So I'm sad this album turned out to be the last from this group. If they'd hung on a few more years, they'd have caught the elder statesman wave in the classic rock circuit and every 20 year old would again know the lyrics to "Day of the Eagle". It would have been nice.

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!!!
