Music Head Wrote:from my library (vinyl)I will have to check this album out , I need to get more Robin Trower as i have only got victims of the fury (1980) which is a great blues rock album.
Not up there with them classic earlier albums, but this sixth release passes. They started to lose me after this one. I guess I was a James Dewar fan as much as a Robin Trower fan. Three love tracks with My Love, It's For You, and King Of The Dance taking the top. Two bombs, Birthday Boy and the instrumental title track taking the worst. This album seems to have more of a funk feel than previously. Nothing wrong with that, just a change. Robin was probably tiring of the Hendrix shadow he was tagged with. A #37 is the best the album could do, with no singles charting. Two albums later the band was dropped by their long time label, Chrysalis. A good album, but it makes you yearn for Bridge Of Sighs.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Caravan To Midnight
Best Track - King Of The Dance
I was raised in the ghetto
And the floor was my bed
The rhythm of the streets
Was my daily bread
It's a restless situation
And each day's a game of chance
'Cause when you dance in the streets
For a nickel or a dime
You learn how to move, babe
You learn how to shine
And if you shine like a star
They'll call you king of the dance
So come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance
I'm gonna dance for the world
I ain't never gonna stop
It's a long way down
When you're looking from the top
And if you shine like a star
They'll call you king of the dance
So come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, baby
Be the king of the dance
Come on, come on, get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, yeah
Be the king of the dance, yeah
I was raised in the ghetto
And the floor was my bed
The rhythm of the streets
Was my daily bread
It's a restless situation
Every day's a game of chance
Come on, come on get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance, yes
Be the king of the dance
Yeah come on, come on, get up on the floor
Come on, come on dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance, yes, yes
Come on, come on now get up on the floor
Come on, come on and dance me some more
Come on take a chance
Be the king of the dance
