5.0 out of 5 stars Best combination of hits in one CD by Robin Trower, September 24, 1999

Robin Trower is indeed one of the finest guitar players ever to grace the music industry. And this compulation of hits will no doubt deserve a place in your collection. Not sure which I like best about the group . . . Dewar's soulful voice, the guitar riffs, or the lyrics. This CD will bring about many hours of listening pleasure.

Robin Trower would have been a guitar god no matter what, but he was savvy enough to consistently surround himself with a great supporting cast album after album. James Dewar and Jack Bruce, two of the vocalists featured on this hits set, were perfect foils to Trower's guitar wizardry, never trying to show him up, just perfectly complimenting him on song after song. Dewar is especially impressive on Caledonia and the live Too Rolling Stoned. Dewar has since passed away, but for the most part this set acts as a shining monument to one of the more underrated, yet consistently soulful vocalists in hard rock history. This cd is one of my favorites to listen to while traveling alone. Beginning to end, it cranks, and naturally leads to hunting down the excellent twofers that Trower's works have been featured on in the past few years.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Robin Trower fans delight!, February 6, 1999

By A Customer

This cd covers a lot of Robin's "best of" songs over his career and really is an exceptional cd for those of you who want to listen to his style of the "down to earth, straight from the soul," blues. But if your a real Robin Trower fanatic like myself, you know the only way to really satisfy your soul is to own all of his music because it's all fantastic. Listen for yourself and you will believe. Thanks for reading and happy listening, Tom Reilly
