Just about saved me
From going through the same old moves
And this cat is nine
He still suffers
He's going through the same old grooves
But that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
Too many cooks, yeah
Spoil such a good thing
I know I laughed out loud but that was then
Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
Always seemed to find was those real good friends
That stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
Well that stone keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
A stitch in time
Helps to unfold me
Circus starts at eight so don't be late
Please be so kind not to wake me
I think I'll just sit this one out
Well, I'm too rolling stoned
I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
Like a rolling stone
Just, just, just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
Yeah, too rolling stoned
Oh just like a rolling stone
Well, like a rolling stone
on the rock mix, this is the 2nd robin trower song in one day within a couple of hours, and that seems excessive and unnecessary considering how many artists and songs are in the RP library.
the repetition of same artists being played daily as well as the same songs by these same artists being repeated twice, three times, often 4 or more times a week seems...bizarre. i know there's lots going on behind the scenes at RP these days, but when is the focus going to get back on the mix/music instead of, for example, hiring someone to update the wikipedia entries about the artists when anyone who is interested could simply Google an artist for the wikipedia entry if so inclined. can the focus get back to the music that brought us all here to RP in the first place years ago?
So go and start your own listener supported radio station. And play whatever tracks you want. Once per month. Or once per year. Or twice a week if you really like the song.
One of my all-time favorite R&R albums of all time. Every song on this album is a 10. I caught Trower touring this album in Dallas in 1975 and it was a lights out amazing show. Trower may not have achieved the fame of some of his peers, but he stands shoulder to shoulder next them, and they all know it.
If you don't have this record, run out and get it tomorrow.
All true and a great album. I saw him at the Wintergarden in Dallas...perhaps a little later? Going to have to go dig out my tickets.
Fine, fine show from my folding chair as I recall.
"Two Rolling Stoned." ; )
LOL!!! Good One!!!

I Agree! Thanx RP!
If I picked a Top 10 guitar solo, this might be on it. Blues rock to the max. Smoother than good whiskey with just enough fire and bite.

You are so right! Of course I love the psychedelic pulsing solos, but the "whacka-whacka-whacka" rhythm guitar is also stellar.
Could never have been this good without superb vocals and thumping bass from Mr Dewar and the steady beat from Reg Isadore. And I love the fake (?) audience hooting and hollering in the background.
Для меня - то же самое / So am I.

Check this video out, it's jaw-dropping:

Nice. Now I really want to hear "Bridge of Sighs" too
The whole Bridge of Sighs LP, start to finish, would be fine by me!
upping the volume makes a big difference!
Saw RT at the Blues and Heritage Festival in New Orleans years ago and discovered that my ears and I disagreed on what we would listen to.
Entering the tent was a sonic blast and I had no earplugs. Music good? Yes, but still had to leave. Sat outside for the entire set.
Interestingly he and I grew up within a couple of miles of each other when Catford was part of Kent, not London.
YOU BET! Sounds great in FLAC w/K701 studio phones, excellent amp & DAC!
The more stoned you get, the better it sounds! ...eh?
Oh my gosh...the arguments in the 1970s, driving around in a 1965 Impala.
Who was the best RnR guitar player?
Page?
Clapton?
Beck?
Trower?
Howe?
Santana?
Hendrix?
Allman?
Walsh?
Lowell George?
The list goes on and on and on.
There is NO BEST!!! ...They all have different styles! ...They are ALL GRTEAT!!!
So true! Those of us who can still remember have fond memories of Jimmy (bass and vocals), Les Harvey (guitar), Maggie Bell (vocals), John McGinnis, (keyboards), and Colin Allen (drums). This lineup — known as Power — were the incredible house band at Glasgow pub Burns Howff in the 60's. The blues-rock band later became known as Stone the Crows and what a band they were.

So, wait...is he playing the guitar or the bass? The two pictures here
are conflicting...
I think you're making his point....
Too many bests to pick one.
That's a good thing!
Define 'best'..
Best straight rock/blues - Trower
Most innovative - Beck
Most raw talent - Hendrix

Never too late to pick it back up!
It almost always does.
Interesting. I always just assumed Robin was singing. I guess I just never gave it any thought.

One of the best rock guitarists EVER!!!!!
Hell yeah. Was a guitar hero of mine since high school (1977-1981). Finally got to see him live probably 8 years ago at HOB Houston. Wow. He just keeps rocking!
What a tone. I have an old VCR tape that I digitized, in a guitar licks series recorded decades ago where he explains a lot of his gear and technique. He uses very heavy gauge strings (.11?) and bends the crap out of 'em, he must have calluses 1/8" thick... I remember they used to bill him as "6 strings of barbed wire." No kidding.
I don't know why, but it's just so dang good!
Possibly the sharp impeccable playing!
Tight!!!
I'm embarrassed to admit that for a long time I thought that was Robin Trower singing! I agree, it's that guitar and the voice that together make "Robin Trower"!
Been there, done that (class of '76... way stoned, doin' the I94 loop.... '62 Electra 225, Marantz 4G s in the back seat)... sill get a buzz from the tunage.
I don't know why, but it's just so dang good!
i'll just have to satisfied with a download.
That's my Robin Trower story and I'm sticking to it!
who am I kidding?
10!
Never too late.
It's October - I hope you're still going!
It's all Bill G. and Rebecca. And the segues ARE amazing!
Jesus. 2 times in 4 days is vastly more often than the 2x in 4 years I'd be more comfortable with.
Agreed, if we are discussing Jesus....................

Sure don't bother to listen any longer. I carry RP via app cache in the car. Don't leave home without it.
LLRP!
No need to use the past tense in much is the USA today. At least keep a doobie handy for emergencies like this!
That virus wouldn't have a chance against his licks!
Rockin'!!
love it. its great
The music, the album cover all sort of blur into that night.
it was really weird.
I know pay a ( minor ) price for it.
Yes! I listened to Trower for years thinking it was him singing...it's hard for me to separate the two now, it's one sound.
Heck, I didn't know that!! Ooops

==================================
Saw Mr Trower a few years ago (5? 7?) at the Variety Playhouse in ATL. What a show!! Despite looking like he'd need cardiac resuscitation at any second, he played as well as on any of his LPs.

If you don't have this record, run out and get it tomorrow.

J Giles gets the honeys
Others sing the blues
Which always seemed weird to me, as J Giles was not that famous.
