	CD Baby: TOMMY BOLIN: The Glen Holly Jams/After Hours
		This is Tommy Bolin kicking back, playing for the sake of playing, and doing what he loved to do most.
		As a musician it was strikingly obvious to anyone who saw him play that he had “It.” But it wasn’t his awe-inspiring dexterity, remarkable as it was, that made him unique: many an axeman have had the ability to throw down all manner of trills, frills, and lace at the drop of a hat.
		Bolin just rolls and rolls and rolls, notes flowing like a river, always in command yet in tandem with his comrades on every level.

		Tommy Bolin, so under-rated, so judged by his short time in DP and in this world.
		Bolin is, along with a handful of promising guitarists who died too young, a guitar icon who should be approached with an open mind and an open ear.
		Tommy Bolin played with Deep Purple at one time, and there's a lot of Purple in his sound, although his laid-back vocals are the antithesis of the frenetic signing dished out by his former bandmates.

		In 1975, Bolin was a 23 year old guitar prodigy who had risen to fame as Ritchie Blackmore’s (brief) replacement in Deep Purple, having played in bands like Zephyr and the James Gang.
		Then in 2005, brother Johnnie Bolin and LA producer Greg Hampton released in the form of ‘Whips and Roses I’ a series outtakes and alternate versions of ‘Teaser’; material edited and mastered from original multi-track tapes.

	Tommy Bolin Whips And Roses Review By Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
		Bolin had the world at his beckoned call; he was young, extremely talented and had nothing but opportunity in front of him.
		The guitar is typically beyond reproach, the instrumentals are incredible showcases of jazz-blues-rock fusion that proves unequivocally and repeatedly that BolIn could play anything with expertise and flair like few have that come before and after his demise.
		Bolin's story is not unlike another great guitar player named Hendrix, although his legacy does not mirror the great one's musically based on the recordings he left behind, his life certainly parallels Hendrix in some ways and you have to wonder how far he would have taken it if he were to be alive today.

		Bolin was right on the brink of major guitar hero stardom when he died in 1976.
		Bolin filled the hole left in the James Gang after the departure of Joe Walsh on their Miami and Bang releases.
