Wanted to post some Trower. Great sound, great song, great guitarplaying, smoking outfit ;_)

I never felt like Trower is a Hendrix clone. Sure Hendrix is his number one influence, but Trowers songwriting and stlye is way different.

.....enough talkin'.......enjoy the video.

Great tune, one of my two or three favorites of his. I can even play along with most of this one! :eek: :D

I agree with you--the "Hendrix clone" rap he takes is largely undeserved. Sure, there are parts of his tunes that sound eerily like Jimi, especially when he gets that distortion + Univibe thing working. But overall, he has his own style of playing & writing, as you said.

And let's not forget to give a nod to James Dewar, an incredible & very underrated singer!
