Details: Amazon.ca Based on his subtle playing on Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," no one expected Robin Trower to become an arena-rock guitar god in the '70s--a guitarist, in fact, that some pundits compared to Jimi Hendrix. Trower certainly was very much influenced by Hendrix; he loved throwing atonal fireworks into his blues-based rock, as all 16 tracks here demonstrate. Essential is the best U.S. compilation available, with tracks from all eight of his Chrysalis LPs. The only problem is that '70s and '80s FM staple "Day of the Eagle" is absent. Which is a little like calling an album Essential Hendrix and excluding "All Along the Watchtower." --Bill Holdship Product Description Procol Harum was the springboard for the long solo career of this dazzling guitarist. This 16-song CD perfectly plucks the best from his LPs: Too Rolling Stoned; Lady Love; Daydream; Hannah; Bridge of Sighs; Pride; Shame the Devil; Messin' the Blues , and more!
