Music reviews of Rock Solid: Essential Collection
Music Review: 2 Disk Compilation of Polydor Material from Guitar Hero!
Rating: 5 Stars
"Rock Solid: The Essential Collection" is a 2 disk compilation of Pat Travers' material from his 9 Polydor albums. For the uninitiated Travers was a Canadian born guitar hero from the seventies. His blues influenced playing can be perhaps compared best with players such as Robin Trower or Frank Marino. Travers while not a shredder always provided tasteful seventies era soloing. During part of his career he utilized the power trio format for his band. Among the musicians who passed through Travers' bands during this period were second guitarist Pat Thrall and drummers Michael Shrieve, Tommy Aldridge and Nicko McBrain. Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple provides guest vocals on "Stevie" and Thin Lizzy guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham also make guest appearances along the way. While the set contains no previously unissued material is does contain most of his best material. It contains his best known cut a live cover of Little Walter's "Boom Boom Out Go The Lights" from his "Go For What You Know Live" album. It is unfortunate that the set does not contain more live material as Travers always seemed to be more energized in concert. It also contains the concert favorite "Snortin' Whiskey". Other standout cuts include "Makin' Magic", "Rock 'N' Roll Susie", "Life In London" and "Go All Night". Travers was not adverse to covering other people's material such Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues" and J.J Cale's "Magnolia". However, two of his best known covers, Albert King's "Born Under A Bad Sign" and Bob Marley's "Is This Love" were omitted for some strange reason. Since the disks do not utilize the full 80 minutes a few more tracks could have been added to the set. In addition, some of the material on the second disk does not hold up to the standards established on the first disk. The set might have been better served with less material from his last 3 albums from and more from his first 6. This is probably going to be the best summary of Pat Travers' career to be released and fans of gritty blues influenced seventies guitar playing will be overjoyed with this anthology. Those well-worn lps can now be replaced with this new remastered compilation of Travers' classic tracks!
