Bridge of Sighs was Robin Trower's second solo album, released on Chrysalis in 1974, and it's the one where the former Procol Harum guitarist finally broke through. Following Twice Removed from Yesterday, it puts his blues-soaked playing front and center, the kind of thick, smoldering tone critics kept tying to Jimi Hendrix, a hero Trower never hid.
The title track crawls and moans like fog over dark water, and "Day of the Eagle", "Too Rolling Stoned" and "Little Bit of Sympathy" ride heavy, swaggering grooves. All four became fixtures of his concerts, and the album opened a string of gold records that ran through 1977. For Earth Below came next.
