Tommy Bolin- WHIRLWIND- 2CD- 2013-
- Purple Pyramid Records/Cleopatra Records, Inc.- 741157063127- 500 grn
A spectacular collection of rare and unreleased recordings from famed guitarist of Deep Purple, James Gang and the Billy Cobham Band, Tommy Bolin! Features rare material of Bolin's jazz-rock band Energy, an epic 26 minute version of "Marching Powder" (here called "Marching Bag") from the album Teaser as well as songs Bolin was preparing for his third solo album before his untimely death in 1976! The life and music of guitar legend Tommy Bolin seemed to have crashed and burned all too quickly. Prior to his drug related death in 1976, Bolin was starting to formulate solo album number three, after semi-successful stints in both The James Gang and Deep Purple that saw his stock as a guitar hero in waiting rise before quickly getting snuffed out after years of heroin addiction. Since Bolin's death there has been a wealth of live and studio recordings to come out on the market that further prove the talents of this guitar genius. WHIRLWIND is the latest, a 2CD set from the folks at the Tommy Bolin Archives along with Cleopatra Records/Purple Pyramid, which contains not only some songs that were meant for that third solo record, but also rare material from Bolin's jazz-fusion band Energy as well as alternate & instrumental versions of other songs from his earlier solo albums. For fans, this is a set not to be missed. The whole set comes housed in a nice looking digipack, with a booklet containing full track information, photos, and an essay from Cook who talks about the sessions and the legend that is Tommy Bolin. Only gripe is that there are plenty of mistakes on the track information, such as songs where there are vocals and no vocal listed, songs where you hear keyboards and no keyboard player listed, and some typos, but otherwise this is a must have set for any serious Tommy Bolin fan. The sound quality on most of these tracks are pretty decent, a few sounding close to a good bootleg, but the musicianship throughout is stellar as you would expect. Simply a mandatory purchase for any Bolin aficionado.
