"Passion" is the closest to pop and melodic rock of any of his albums IMHO. "Caroline" got quite a bit of radio play at the time. A departure from his Hendrix infused blues rock for awhile as he navigated the changing music scene of the mid-80's. It had been many years since I last listened to the whole album, but I found it interesting and enjoyable.

I could gas on awhile about "Back It Up", but I think this mini review nails it:

"After two albums with singer Jack Bruce, Robin Trower brought back original vocalist James Dewar for his 1983 release Back It Up. Longtime fans surely hoped for another Bridge of Sighs, but by this time the songwriting had been reduced to pedestrian hard rock, with only occasional flashes of the old cosmic brilliance. Both "The River" and "Benny Dancer" have some of the old edge, and the instrumental "Island" is one of the most beautiful songs Trower ever did. Unfortunately, however, this record was ignored by the old fans (many of whom were now busy starting families and toting briefcases), and it was hard for him to win over a new audience when haircut bands like Culture Club flooded both the radio and the latest media sensation -- MTV. ~ Peter Kurtz"
