CD Reviews

A very worthwhile 'Snapshot'
Aido. | Dublin Ireland | 02/04/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Having been the owner of Tommy Bolin's `Teaser' and `Private Eyes' albums for over twenty years, I was unaware until recently, of the vast repertoire of other material, much of which was previously unreleased. Snapshot represents a most convincing selection and, for those who no nothing of Bolin, an informative first step.This album presents hard rock, Jazz, funk, blues and reggae all driven by Bolin's inimitable guitar style. It is a collection which has something for everyone. While the recordings lack the audio quality achievable through modern digital techniques, this aspect adds to the attraction of the pieces. It gives an earthy sense to the sounds and a feeling of being there in the recording studio. It is an album that should be listened to rather than just heard. It is difficult to pick out the best tracks as they are all gems. The easy rhythm of `Standing in the rain', `Oh Carol' and `Summer Breezes' supported by Bolin's vocals and acoustic rhythm guitar present a vastly different offering to that of `Savannah Woman' and `Cucumber Jam' which are strong on electric guitar solos. A worthwhile purchase."
One of the best Tommy Bolin Archives releases
John B. Herdt | Lakewood, CO United States | 09/24/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of the best CDs from the Bolin archives, along with Live at Ebbets Field 1974 and Zephyr Live at Art's Bar and Grill. The clean-toned soloing on Savannah Woman is some of his best, absolutely burning, and should shut up all the people like Lee Ritenour who think they are true jazzers because mommy and daddy bought them some lessons. The rest of the material is all top-notch, too. I listen to this one a LOT."
He was the best one besides ricthie blackmore

"yes he replaced Blackmore on deep purple in 75, by recording the come taste the band album. The result was brain melting he could replace Ritchie in deep Purple. This one was his unreleased solo materials, and this guy was a young wonder! he could play guitar!"
