Rating: B
Jack Bruce and
Robin Trower have teamed up in the past and
released a couple of decent albums. However, it
has been years – make that decades since the two
rock gods have worked together. Coming out of
nowhere is a collection of eleven tunes that
show, at times, the magic that can be made when
you get two musical masters in the same room.
The album was
recorded live in the studio and the feeling of a
live performances comes through on the CD. While
the music is more tilted to Bruce’s Cream past,
the true star of the album is Robin Trower. He
is a master of the six string and from the
opening notes of "Seven Moons" to the final
moment of "I’m Home" Trower is impressive. He
overshadows Bruce from start to finish, proving
his place as one of the best rockers to ever
take the stage.
"Lives of
Clay," "So Far to Yesterday" and "She’s Not the
One" are the best of the bunch. The CD goes on a
bit too long as about 8 of the 11 would have
been enough. In other words, there is a tad bit
of filler. However, if you are a Trower, Bruce
or Cream fan then you will dig this disc.
