| | Tommy Bolin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tommy was signed by Nemperor records to record a solo album. | | | Within weeks Bolin was back on the road touring with a solo band, and he began planning a second solo record. | | | While the band never released an album during Bolin's lifetime, several posthumous releases have demonstrated the band's power and Bolin's artistic vision. |

| | Tommy Bolin manages to play a decent bit of guitar, but rarely shines. | | | Now, thus claim the liner notes, have surfaced rehearsal recordings that show Tommy Bolin to be the right one to carry on the band with. | | | "Come Taste the Band", which was released in 1975 with replacement guitarist Tommy Bolin, was quite an alright CD but didn't quite capture the energy and especially the virtuosity of former material. |

| | Bolin went to New York to participate in the recordings of a would-be solo album by Jeremy Steig. | | | Tommy Bolin does all but two guitar solos on Moxy's first album (known as "The Black Album"). | | | Thus Bolin's guitar is not heard on the published album. |

| | Tommy was one of the greatest and still a huge influence on me as a guitarist, composer and songwriter..... | | | It's hard to listen to the music of Tommy Bolin and not wonder what could've been if the exceptionally talented (and versatile) guitarist hadn't succumbed to a senseless drug overdose at the age of 25 -- just as his career appeared to be taking off. | | | And while Bolin's arrival didn't return the group back to the top of the charts, a pair of quite underrated albums were issued, 1973's Bang and 1974's Miami, as the guitarist also sang lead for the first time on record. |

| | His one studio album with Purple, 'Come Taste the Band', is Bolin at his absolute best. | | | They released two albums, 'Miami' and 'Bang', the latter containing the classic Bolin tune Standing In the Rain. | | | He first gained notice in the late 60s with a female-fronted band called Zephyr, then in the early and mid-70s bounced around in various studio projects as a 'hired gun' (most notably with Billy Cobham's Spectrum and Canadian rockers Moxy). |

| | Bolin's musical influences certainly dovetailed nicely with Hughes' funkier leanings, and the resultant studio release, Come Taste the Band, was decidedly Deep Purple's funkiest record. | | | Bolin didn't try to copy Blackmore, so this album sounds different to any other Purple album. | | | Bolin replaced Blackmore and he has some very fine moments on this album: Comin' home, Love child and You keep on movin' stand out from the rest. |

| | While it was more of a conventional rock album than its predecessor, Teaser (which served primarily as a showcase for his guitar skills and contained several jazz/rock instrumentals), it was not as potent. | | | After the breakup of Deep Purple in 1976, guitarist Tommy Bolin wasted little time beginning work on his second solo album, Private Eyes. | | | The performances aren't as inspired as those on Teaser or even those on Bolin's lone album with Deep Purple, Come Taste the Band, although there a few highlights could be found. |

| | Billy Cobham on Tommy Bolin |
| | I suspect that Tommy would still be playing and producing some hit records although in the state of the music industry it's hard to say for sure. | | | The album was every bit as inspired as the work Cobham had done with Mahavishnu Orchestra, and featured young guitarist Tommy Bolin laying down some very forward-thinking and complex riffs. | | | The first time that I met Tommy was after I heard him perform with Zephyr at an open air music festival, I believe in West Virginia at a race track. |

Bolin's talent encompassed several musical genres, and it shows in the 13 tracks on the new CD. | | | The band only recorded one studio album together, Come Taste the Band, which contained seven of Bolin's songs. | | | The CD includes rare demos, acoustic and live performances from various stages in Bolin's brief career. |

| | As the opening act for Blue Oyster Cult, Tommy does not get the sound check one would like to have for such a recording, so there are some feedback problems, guitar tuning problems and Tommy’s guitar is missing from the assigned track for the first part of Teaser. | | | The separation of instruments is definitely the cleanest and clearest of any live Bolin Band recording we have heard yet. | | | The great live recording quality Tommy has always deserved, the great playing you know he was capable of, the band completely in sympathy with each other, and some of Tommy’s most passionate singing. |

| | Bolin had reported suffered a substance complication prior to recording which had affected the use of his picking hand while playing guitar, and it drastically shows here. | | | I truly love Tommy Bolin and his music, and I stand by that when I say COme Taste the Band is Purple's finest recording ever. | | | His playing is sloppy, a bit out of tune, and for the most part, a bit unbearable to listen to. |

| | Although guitarist Tommy Bolin died well before his time, he left a wide variety of scattered recordings behind (as both a session musician and permanent member of several rock bands). | | | Disc 1 chronicles Bolin's early years, and while it contains several standouts (the amazing instrumental "Quadrant 4" with Billy Cobham, The James Gang's "Alexis" and "Standing In the Rain, " etc.), the selections by his first band, Zephyr, and as a hired hand with a Zep-clone band called Moxy, have not aged well. | | | Although the set was out-of-print by the late-90's, 'The Ultimate' serves as a solid introduction to the talents of the great Tommy Bolin. |
