JACK BRUCE/ROBIN TROWER - SEVEN MOONS (180G IMPORT LP)

Jack Bruce/Robin Trower Seven Moons on 180g Import LP

Seven Moons, a 2008 album by Jack Bruce and Robin Trower, finds the two prominent members of the seminal British rock and blues scene of the 1960s back together and in fine form. Trower was the founding guitarist in the band Procol Harum and Bruce needs no introduction as the lead vocalist/bassist of Cream who wrote a lot of their material, including the immortal "Sunshine of Your Love." The duo made two joint recordings in the early 1980's, and again teamed up on record here, this time with British drummer Gary Husband, a member of Gary Moore's band.

What makes Seven Moons such a success is that Bruce and Trower each play to their strengths. Bruce brings his distinctive croon/moan to bluesy, riff-oriented tunes dominated by Trower's playing.The 11-song set finds a space that Cream would have occupied had they recruited Hendrix: ballsy, economical and confident, all at once. Trower, if anything, has toned down his usual space rock style, with some beautifully understated playing. Bruce's bass remains as it has always been, solid and tasteful, shunning the instrumental spotlight, whilst Husband's drumming is also subtle, reflecting his jazz experience. To sum it up, Seven Moons is a spot-on recreation of the late-'60s blues-rock halcyon days and it's expertly done. 180g gatefold vinyl.
