Trower's 1974 release "Bridge Of Sighs" is considered by many as his most definitive effort. Prior to going out solo, Trower was a member of the band Procol Harum, who enjoyed a successful string of hits in the late 60's and early 70's (Whiter Shade Of Pale; Shine On Brightly; Whiskey Train). Also, James DeWar (bassist / lead vocalist), provides another key element to the trio's sound. Although the Trower catalog is literally loaded with amazing guitar work, "Bridge Of Sighs" provides the greatest cross-section of material, and really showcases Robin's signature Stratocaster-fueled fretwork.
