Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered edition with 2 original albums on a single CD. These two full lengths are the result of the collaboration of ex-Procol Harum guitarist Robin Trower with ex-Cream bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce and drummer Bill Lordan. The sound is outstanding and the package includes exclusive liner notes penned by Trower himself.

4.0 out of 5 stars BLT at 5 stars and Truce at 3, December 21, 1999

BLT is probably my favorite Trower album. The songs have a very commercial feel to them, but have enough "hooks" to grab you. The final track of the album, "End Game", has some of the lowest and richest bass playing I've ever heard. I never listened to Truce until I got this double-CD so it doesn't have the same history with me. However, try as I might, I just can't seem to get the "hook" with this one. It is ok, but sounds a bit uninspired and lacks the raw energy I associate with BLT. In either case, this disk is worth getting simply for the great BLT album and if you like Truce even a little bit, it is gravy.

4.0 out of 5 stars BLT soars, TRUCE wilts, July 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: B.L.T./Truce (Audio CD)

It was a good experiment; get Cream's vocal and bass powerhouse teamed up with one of the most sonic guitarists since some guy named Hendrix and sparks, well, sparks mostly fly. Except when they don't, which is the case with the second Trower/Bruce team-up, TRUCE. That one sorta lays down and rolls over. But the first album, BLT, is a smoker! From the opening riff of "Into Money," through the power blues of "No Island Lost" and the balladry of "Won't Let You Down" and "Carmen," heck, throughout the entire ten tracks, B(ruce) L(ordan) and T(rower) restore the good name to "power trio." Dunno what happened the second time out, but, to be fair, TRUCE is a relatively pleasant if sleepy album. If you can find BLT by its' lonesome on CD without taking out a second mortgage, snap it up! Otherwise, this is still a good purchase to make. I might even grow to like TRUCE as much as BLT with a few more spins.

5.0 out of 5 stars SINK YA TEETH IN - B.L.T. - ROBIN TROWER, June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: B.L.T./Truce (Audio CD)

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DEFINITIVE WORKS IN TROWER'S COLLECTION ALL BE IT PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN TO MOST. TRACK ONE INTO MONEY SAYS IT ALL. EACH TRACK IS A TRIP INTO JACK BRUCE'S AND ROBIN TROWER'S MULTI-TALENTED MINDS. THE END GAME FEATURES SOME OF HOTTEST BASS CUTS EVER RECORDED ON THE PLANET. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY COLLECTOR OF ROBIN TROWER.
