Tommy Bolin - Whips and Roses

The career of guitarist Tommy Bolin is a study in both triumph and tragedy. After playing with Deep Purple and the James Gang his talent were demanded in the demanded in the studio by such heavyweights as Billy Cobham and Alphonse Mouzon. Sadly, the multi-faceted guitarists died in 1976 before reaching the mass acclaim that he seemed destined for. The tracks comprise 5 of the original "Teaser" songs plus unreleased material from the "Teaser" sessions, and Bolin accumulated such a wealth of material during this time that another volume will be released this fall.
