Robin Trower - Somebody Calling Lyrics

tHIS SONG IS NOTHING WITHOUT JIMMY DEWAR

I introduced the neighborhood to Robin Trower and James Dewar tonight, very loudly as it was meant to be

James Dewar, Bill Lourdon and Robin Trower..........The BEST

Robin Trower deserves to be more well-known

KILLER TUNE !

Great use of Electro Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress Flanger .

So much like I'm Out to Get You.Anybody else?

Midnight Special 11/25/77
Must see shit.

Guitar work is mesmerizing......

Not a huge follower of the guitar greats (exception being Hendrix) you know...Beck, etc. but this album....can't be listened to less than ear-splitting. One of the best ever! Their music lives on within us!

Annie R Reply, sometimes the music transcends the hero, and how magical and mystical that is-

Nope to dope. Trower Music was my only drug. Whenever I felt down and out Robin's Albums would always lift me up. Thanks Robin. Love ya.

Robin is world class awesome and very cool. Jimmy's voice still gives me chills.

swingymcswing Thank you for your kind words and glad that you enjoyed it-

I was tasting the charms of my lady ,then I woke up, will be there in time whit her tonight

when this album dropped back in 1977 we were just getting ahold of THE MOST POWERFUL thai sticks on earth, the finest weed wrapped with a piece of yarn on wooden sticks and laced with opium....OMG we would listen to this album SO HIGH that I thought I was on another planet, and 8 hours later I was STILL HIGH....thats how good the times were back then....

James sounds so much like Jack Bruce of Cream... Excellent 70's groove... Love it..... And Robin... he says it all....

Check out 'see my life', it's great too

He played KSHE-95's 10 Anniversary Party.  Opening bands, Lake and Prism.  Great Show!

I was tasting the charms of my lady . . . and I wonder . . . do you know what I mean?

Thank you for the cool observation and comment!

Timeless

Excellent tune

Giving Jeff Beck a run for his money here...

I tube is getting VERY LIMITED

I'm always amazed at people from my generation who do not know the magic that is Robin Trower & Jimmy Dewar. I want to slap them & ask : where the fuck were you in the 70's??? Saw them in '76 Chgo Amphitheater. Magic.

"Somebody Calling" for this to be one of Robin's Best!!!

Stevie Wonder's Superstition rip off

because of the bass line? come on, by those standards almost all music is ripping off something else. It's more complicated than that

Best.Trower.Ever.

I saw Robin Trower perform in Omaha Nebraska in 1987.

Comment is simple the band where brilliant problem was there a lòt of others they were overlooked

This NEVER goes out of style!

Sounds like gilmore and clapton

the whole album kicks ass

Robin Trower and Frank Marino are very similar imo. Like them both

Still fantastic to hear this sweet flowing jam!

Lost in the tranquility

Heard this on spring break in the late 70s. Awesome.

Rip James Dewar god Bless....

i Demand an Explantion as why he is not in Rock & Roll HOF!!!

Because the roknroll hall of fame is actually the roknroll hall of shame. The real Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is in the hearts of the Fans!

James mauzy,
That is pretty lame. Lots of corruption around. Music business no exception.

But flava flave is in the rock and roll hall of fame, completing fucked up

@Ed Keene
That is pretty lame.

@Terry Omalley dont care

30 pussies!

29 douche bags. thumbs down kiss my  ass!

damm, makes me wanna fire up this blunt!!

hash oil, bong thats it!

Breathe it all on and let your mind trip away

Lightning in a bottle RIP Jimmy Dewar.

Like many my age, I have a few of these pieces of old vinyl heaven around. Can't play them anymore, at least not without an expensive investment in old equipment. Still, I can't let them go. They've melted into me and fused into my heart. We're gonna go out together.

I'm so glad the music is still around and loved by a new bunch of fans. Love Robin and miss James.

That vinyl is screaming to be heard again, I'm sure!! I'd suggest it doesn't take much cash to get a low-medium quality new or old turntable going again. A modern one might even have a built-in A/D converter so you can run it straight into a computer-based music system.

Why cant classic rock radio play THIS instead of Sweet Home Alabama for the millionth time??

i feel as though i want to lay myself bare

fuck!!! dudess! this song is amazing! i drunk and high< but wow this IS AMAZING! free expression of raw sexuality

first heard this from a friend in San Antonio Texas circa 1978. Love blues from Robin Trower particularly this album.

I remember smoking Red Bud weed and listening to this music! Back in 1977 and 1978 in El Reno!!!

an abdolute pure masterpiece by a purely unfettered master.....and as always my friends Enjoy!

That voice by far most underrated in rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have this album on vinyl.
Love it.

Probably the first time I have heard this 'clean'.....seen these several times and got lost in the music every time

Love this song- my brother introduced me to Trower- when his band starting playing some of his songs. This is my favorite one...Use to play it over and over when I was in my 20's and am in my 60''s now and still sounds as good....maybe better! Love his Blues and rock persuasion.

Shout out to James and Bill, sorry.

actually he wasn't underated, they only played a few songs on the radio. Being way old, those that new music loved him, next to Hendrix. Just saying...I was there.

Great Song, Was second Album I Bought In The seventies From This Very Talented Musician!~.~Feb. 13, 2017 At 08.10 Hrs.~.~

just ot in city dreams for a dollar on vinyl, money well spent!

@fatprincess45 What a score - one buck - that's the best dollar you ever spent! "In City Dreams" is one of my favourite albums that Trower/Dewar pressed out. I recently bought a turntable at the flea market for ten bucks and got an old Fischer amp at Salvation Army for $18 - in pristine shape and working great - I have every reason to believe I'll get years; if not decades, of use out of it cause they don't make 'em like they used to.

Hell yeah dude, i've listened to it at least 5 times over, instant classic, worth every (single) dollar
i've eyeballed some good looking equipment at various salvation/goodwills, but damn thats a sweet score

So, OK... Which of all you good folks thought the artist's name was Robin Trowel?  BE honest, It's quite all right.

what a guitarist! The challange of the open amps. wow!

Everything Robin trousers band pit together was mystic. Robin thrower really could make that guitar speak and dewar was the bass vocally and instrumentally. I consider the band to be in my top 10 bands of all time.. at least in the blues/funk category

prime music

Love me some Robin Trower and James Dewar.....what a voice. RIP

Jim K exactly what I am doing🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵

ever the best rip and trower the best ever! I'm still tripin see you heaven I myself have the thr oat lvu you guys!

Robin and Jimmy, music for the soul.

Dont forget Lordan. Dude has drummed and recorded with 4 Rock Hall Of Fame inductees, 5 if Trower ever makes it in. These kinds of trio's dont happen often in a lifetime. Reg Isadore gets credit for Twice Removed From Yesterday and Bridge of Sigh's albums, but its all Bill for the rest of their very best years. The live album that they recorded in Sweden is stellar, I still listen to it all the time. Way underrated band in my opinion.

Bill Lordan is from Minneapolis, my hometown, and started with 'Gypsy', a Minneapolis band that went on to be the 'House Band' at Whiskey A-Go-Go in Hollywood from '69 to '70. Listen to 'When I'm Dead And Gone', by Gypsy. Almost sounds like 'country rock' in the beginning akin to 'Poco' but then goes on to a deeper level and gets into jazz and then comes back out of it and returns to the country rock sound. It was quite a long song for the day but then again some songs were doing that then, ie; 'Green Eyed Lady' by Sugar Loaf or In 'A Gadda Da Vida' by Iron Butterfly. See if you can 'YouTube' it. I know you will enjoy it ;).

Bill has an awesome FB group where he tells old stories and sells some of his own recordings. If you aren't in there you should be, since you sound like a big fan too. A great guy and very inclusive, he responds to everyone and stays very involved with his fans.
It must have been something to see some of those early shows at those clubs. I was a little young for Gypsy so had to look them up a while back after one of Bill's posts. Long lost but not forgotten!

@Dan Bertucci Thanks for sharing that info about Bill - I'll go check out his FB page. Appreciate it!

All I can say is Eargasmic !

George strait

No condom needed

Ear candy! ahhh

when I heard this song , I had to sit down and listen to his magic ............

@MELCHOR HERNANDEZ The whole album is great, Melchor; and perhaps my favourite Trower/Dewar album of all time. What a pair - they fit like a glove.

FUCKING HEAVEN!

agree!!

my friend robin love you man

Eyhh, nation. Is this not just great? Einfach nur geil.

The MOST underrated guitarist of all time.

Yes I was there whn Bridge came out. This trio is underrated in all ways. The depth is incomparable.

Definitely

How many other guitarists can you say THAT about..........many

Just like he said : You don't listen to this song. You lay back and RIDE it!

Robin Trower, great guitarist, very '70's

0ne of the greatest

Trower was a big inspiration for me to play guitar, perform and record.
Shameless plug: https://allihoopa.com/glassguitar

Get Funky one of my all time favorite artists Dewar's vocals were so perfect for this music

I NEED TO SEE HIM LIVE , been a fan forever wish he would tour down under , he has lots of fans out here

+ian bremner Saw him in 1978, 1982, 1988 2001 and just last June he still has it amazing guitar player

+ian bremner Saw Bridge of Sighs tour at Philadelphia Spectrum 75/76. Rush opened for him on their 2112 Tour at same. Incredible!!! So loud , stayed with you for days. Rush were no slouches either but Trower knew how to play live and really control a Strat. Witnessed greatness.

Beyond bad ass.......

You don't listen to this song. You lay back and RIDE it!

Philip bauman Amen Philip. You hit the nail on the head and drove that bitch home.

A 75 Camaro, a cooler full of Coors, and a lonely two-lane Texas blacktop at midnight. Ride, Cowboy, ride!

You nailed it!!!

Philip bauman damn Philip you're smooth like buttah

Zhanks Phiip, you hit the nail.

Definitely one of the most under appreciated rockers of all time. Rock is best done in blues!

@Dale Hicks Hey Dale; I noticed your name; and after looking at your photograph and noticing quite a resemblance, you don't happen to be related to Dan Hicks of "Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks," do you?

I must be old because I remember this when it was NEW! Have all his vinyl and dayum it's still so freaking great!

1977... My Jr. Year of High School... LP and 8 track tape.. The greatest

Joni - ain't that a fact! I remember going to Sound WareHouse and buying the cassette. I had the coolest Firebird in town.

I almost thought you were gonna say...have all this vinyl and dayum it's heavy! ...my 2 Wooden Crates full of LP's... moving sucked, monster speakers too, 1980's status symbol stuff, house shaking equipment, hahahaha
btw Dear Lord, thank you for sending me to earth in 1961 because the music grew in maturity, ahead of me, as a guide, advice given to a younger brother. And I really needed it! Thank you Soooooooooo much.

We ain't OLD,.......We Are Refined !

I'm getting closer and closer to being 100 % pure, refined. Loosing the impurities? hahah! Refined. indeed : )

Just the best, from back in the day,if ya know what im saying

One of the best - EVER - uses of the phase shifter on electric guitar.  This song was the coolest of its time.

Saw him recently June 19th, 2015 in Merced CA. Opened with this song. Still fantastic!!!

This IS one of the GREATEST rock albums of ALL TIME. Trower and Dewar together were magic.

Best rock funkin blues smoke one for prosperity. Peace

indeed!

you are soooooo right it is funk/blues/rock. H.S. music teacher said "Always remember, bass playah, gots ta be funky!

I bought this album in a bargain bin and fell in love with the beauty of the music and have seen Him perform 30 years later and he is out of a group of superb blues guitarists from the late 60's early seventies in a golden age. He makes the guitar sing.

get your head phones for this one wow smoking red bud to this many a time back in the 70's

quriver .. Me too!

I remember the reddish pot, but never heard it called that. It was usually columbian (brown), or columbian gold, so to be Red wasn't much of a stretch, I guess Brown plus Gold equals Red?
Also remember brown at 15 per quarter ounce ... becoming green 10 per gram.
Don't ever look back you can never go back, $15 for 7 grams was only $2 per gram.
And no, a "LID" was before my times. I was cassettes, lid guys were 8 track era, HAH!

I hear u brother many a time

makes your eyes red just thinkin abot it huh...

Red Bud was the best!
