Guitarist Robin Trower admits to drawing his inspiration from Jimi Hendrix, and has the arsenal of licks, tricks and tunes to prove it. He has also assembled a balanced band to accompany his solo flights: Bassist James Dewar is a proficient soul-styled singer capable of admirably filling vocal chores without detracting from the guitarist's show.

Bonus Reviews!
Former Procol Harum guitarist again goes the heavy metal route with his second LP, but this time in a more bluesy vein than with his debut set. Best cut: "Bridge of Sighs."
- Billboard, 1974.
Bridge of Sighs is the epochal Robin Trower album, with his best batch of songs ("Day of the Eagle," "Too Rolling Stoned," "Lady Love," the title track) and empathetic backing from vocalist/bassist Jimmy Dewar and drummer Reggie Isadore. * * * *
- Gary Graff, Musichound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, 1996.
