Artist: Tommy Bolin Title: Great Gypsy Soul Label: 429 Records Release Date: 2012 Format: MP3 @ 320 K
The late, great Tommy Bolin, one of the most prolific and underrated guitarists arguably of all time, is getting the royal crown tribute firmly affixed on his sonic memory with the release of Great Gypsy Soul. The eleven song album has a stunning array of guests on it that reads like a who’s who line-up of some guitar and vocal greats of the 1970s and 80s and today. Greg Hampton (who produced other Bolin compilations) and Warren Haynes (The Allman Brothers, Govt Mule) co-produced the album, which sets it apart from other tribute albums in the fact that they took existing multi-track tapes of recordings Bolin had done but were never publicly released. The producers took the tracks, some with Bolin’s vocals and stellar guitar intact, overlaid new guitars and new vocals from a guest list of singers in the mixes and created as a finished product an eerie yet memorable effect, as if Tommy Bolin was right there during these sessions in the studio. The heavyweight lineup includes Haynes, Steve Lukather (Toto), Sonny Landreth (John Hiatt), jazz guitarist John Scofield (Jaco Pastorius, Miles Davis), Derek Trucks (also from The Allman Brothers), and top shelf people such as Peter Frampton, Deep Purple’s Steve Morse and Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford. Glenn Hughes, who actually played with Bolin during his lifetime in Deep Purple, also makes an appearance.
