A lively partnership...

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2008

I loved "B.L.T." when it came out on vinyl in 1981. Hearing it on CD in 2008 is quite pleasant as well. The record has aged well. Trower is, well Trower at his best...His tone is more straight than on most of his solo records, and l happen to enjoy this change. Trower's recent releases have this more organic guitar sound as well...it's still unmistakably Robin. The record is cool because the music is just slightly different from any Jack Bruce or Robin Trower record.
There really is a unique chemistry between the players. Bill Lordan is an awesome drummer and his contribution should not be overlooked. Jack Bruce is great as always...his bass playing is gorgeous and he is in good voice. I think "B.L.T." is definitely the better of the two records, both in vibe and sound. The songs are also more fully realized.

As I said, "Truce" does not hold up as well as "B.L.T.". While I like the material enough, the main victim of bad 80's production is the unfortunate drum sounds. However, what I like is the R&B vibe and Trower and Bruce both play this style very well without losing their footing. Trower uses more effects on this record, which may be some indication that he felt less confident about the quality of the material. Jack Bruce sings really well on this collection and his bass playing is stunning as ever. While not a great record, it still a nice collection from these two legendary artists.

FYI- For those who haven't heard their 2007 release, "Seven Moons", it is not only the best collaboration between Trower and Bruce but one of the finest records of either man's career.

Great Unknown Colaboration of Legends

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

Lost in the synthesizer laden shallows of the 80's is this gem of a power trio featuring Legends, guitarist Robin Trower and bassist Jack Bruce, as well as Reg Isadore and Bill Lorden drums. The Trower/Bruce two album collaboration totally escaped my notice until recently when I came across the video tracks on Youtube while looking for something else. While the songs might not rival those of Cream and Trower's masterwork 'Bridge of Sighs' album, there is still plenty of excitement. The tracks were laid down 'as live' in the studio with Truce being recorded in two days. The rawness of the recording drives the music. Bruce's voice and crisp bass are great against Trower's full-throated Hendrixian guitar. There's definitely some songs that would have gotten airplay in any other decade. As it stands, it's a great representation of what can happen when two storied musicians get together for an intense jam/recording session.

B.L.T. / Truce

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is going to be a bit harsh perhaps. But I don't know how else to say what it is without saying what it is. And what it is, in my humble opinion, is this: "B.L.T." is probably the very best work Jack Bruce, Robin Trower, and Bill Lordan ever did... collectively, as individual artists, or with the works they've each done with other bands. "B.L.T." is simple raw classic perfection. To make such a great and full sound with a 3 piece band is quite a feat to be sure. Bruce's bass lines are incredible and vast, his vocals near perfect; Trower's work rivals anything he's done, in my opinion, including Bridge of Sighs; and while Lordan worked with some outstanding musicians in the past, including Band of Gypsies, who created some unbelievable music, this "B.L.T." project is, in my opinion, his finest work to date. The way he works a ride cymbal, hammers a kick drum, and fills only when he should with the most tasteful fills, is a pure joy to listen to. To say that each of these guys are masters in their own right should go without saying...but I will say this, "B.L.T." is sticky sweet ear candy from the first lick to the last. Each song has it's own sweet individual flavor. If you like classic "real" rock and roll, original blues, and/or passionate ballads, none of which are over produced, you'll love this album.
"Truce", on the other hand, is a different story altogether!! Poorly mixed, vocals dropping out randomly, over produced and over all a more "commercial" sounding project, I skip it. I just can't bring myself to listen to it...especially following the masterpiece that B.L.T. is. I'm sorry. After the first 10 tracks, which are "B.L.T.", I move on to the next disc in the player. I'm a singer/ songwriter and, among other things, a bass player...and a HUGE Jack Bruce fan, but Truce has been weighed and found wanting. It may seem cruel, I certainly don't mean to be. I respect these artist. I just have to call 'em like I hear 'em. Why it was decided that these two works (B.L.T. / Truce) be put on a single disc is beyond me. You, however, might love them both. If I were rating "Truce" alone I would've given it 1 or maybe 2 stars, while "B.L.T." alone would've rated 5...with a bonus star if I could.

These two albums by Trower, Bruce and Laing on one CD are not really even to me. Most of the time it sounds like
everybody's playing for hisself. Yes there are some good songs on the albums, but listening to musicians of that format
I expect more. I say: for fans only.

トロワーファンは必聴です！！

Reviewed in Japan on May 5, 2021

ロビントロワーとジャックブルースが中心のトリオB.L.Tの作品。
トロワーの黒っぽいリフ、粘っこいギターフレーズが前面に出てて聴いていてノレます。
ジャックブルースの歌について、世間で言われているほど上手いと思ったことがない(クリームファンからは袋叩きに遭うな、これは･汗) 私ですが、それでも楽しめました。
トロワーの全盛期を支えた名Vo&Bジェイムズ･デューアに、このアルバムの曲を歌ってみて欲しかったです。何はともあれ、トロワーのファンも、'70年代の、ギター中心のブリティッシュロックが好きな方も必聴だと思います

Two excellent albums that I missed first time round. The combination
of Jack Bruce's voice and bass, and Robin Trower's excellent lead
makes for really powerful music.

Disappointing Only In Relation To Our Expectations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

Yes B.L.T. is a stronger album than Truce and many have expressed some disappointment that this pairing did not live up to their expectation. This is only because the respective Trower and Bruce fans had such high expectation. There B.L.T. tracks have more spontaneity to them and so sound fresher in comparison to the Truce songs, the production sound a bit too 1980s in a dated way but this is also true to some extent of other fine albums by both players from around that period.

So having given qualification to my praise of this CD, this is still a fine pair of albums and is certainly worth having for B.L.T. alone but Truce has some great moments on it too. By anyone else's standards this is a very very fine pair of albums
