Robin Trower (1977) Somebody's Calling

From the blues guitarists' commercial and very funky 1977 album In City Dreams, comes this track full of smooth late 70s vibes and prog level sonicicity (Note; that's not a word). The thick Isley Brothers' esque tone is doubled by a strong layer of ragged distortion like a synth before edging into some light grooves for the bluesier vocal passages. But the warped guitar track with it's THX level phasing and panning is so heavy it's hard to focus on anything else, the the bass is wonderful; classic funk style. Also check out Further on Up The Road, a straight forward blues house rave up with added crowd noises like whooping and whistling to give it a warm, slightly cheesy 70s rock effect.
