"Back It Up" is a rock album by British guitarist Robin Trower. Released in 1983 under the label Chrysalis, the album marks the tenth studio work of the artist. The album was produced by Robin Trower himself, marking a significant move as this is his first self-produced album. The album displays the unique guitar style of Trower that binds together elements of rock and blues, reminiscent of both his solo work and his contributions to Procol Harum.
Fans and critics often praise this album for its raw power and energy, which effectively highlighted Trower's distinctive playing style and songwriting skills. The album features nine tracks, including standout songs such as "Back It Up" and "Islands". Despite its compelling musicality, "Back It Up" did not quite reach commercial success, which might be attributed to the hardcore and less mainstream nature of the music. Nevertheless, it remains a distinct testament to the artist's musical prowess and his capacity to push the boundaries of rock music.
