Robin Trower Day of the Eagle: The Best of Robin Trower

DAY OF THE EAGLE: THE BEST OF ROBIN TROWER culls 17 tracks from the artist's tenure with Chrysalis Records in the 1970s, a period generally considered to be Trower's best. The 17 tracks here provide a powerful overview of the guitarist's fiery blues-rock aesthetic, from the in-your-face attack of "Day of the Eagle" to the power ballad "Long Misty Days." Although Trower is often labeled as a Jimi Hendrix acolyte (and there are certainly similarities in the bluesy, fuzzed-out tone and wild soloing), his terrain is much closer to the hard rock of Foghat and Bad Company. DAY OF THE EAGLE will take '70s hard rock fans back to the golden age, and also serves as a perfect introduction to the work of this talented rocker.
