The Apex of Bolin's Creative Powers June 17, 2009
The first of a pair of single album releases chronicling the Teaser sessions, the Bolin family made this authorized release truly a labor of love.
The 10 tracks - clocking in at 78:16 - include five alternate takes to songs that made it on the album, tracks from the sessions and live material. Teaser (1975) was Tommy Bolin's debut solo effort, but it was released at the time of Deep Purple's Come Taste the band. Bolin played guitar for Deep Purple and his contractual commitment prohibited to embark on a tour to promote his album. He did perform one cut from the album during DP shows.
The Teaser tracks are the title cut, Wild Dogs, Savannah Woman, Marching Powder and Dreamer. Fandango, Cookoo and Flyin' Fingers are from the recording sessions, with the live gems - Just Don't Fall Down, Blowin' Your Cookies - being nearly 23 minutes of sizzling guitar licks.
Blowin' Your Cookies was recorded at Bolin's penultimate show in December 1976. He would pass away at the age of 26 on December 4. The collection features Bolin at the apex of his creative powers before the personal demons seized control of his life.

I've always enjoyed Tommy Bolin's work, but this record takes it to a whole new level. I've had this in my car for three weeks straight and it's still blowing me away on a daily basis. The playing on this record is just flat-out inspired. It's not just the guitar either--the drumming and bass guitar are incredible as well. This is possibly the best guitar-oriented rock album I've ever heard. If you are a fan of classic rock, especially classic rock guitar, trust me: you NEED this.

I was first introduced to the guitar playing of Tommy Bolin on the Billy Cobham album "Spectrum" back in the early 70's (which was Cobham's first solo project, the first among many great albums to follow). Then I had the privelige of seeing Tommy perform live at My Father's Place in Roslyn, Long Island, New York sometime around 1974, and he rocked the house. He was a great guitar player, and this album shows off some of his chops.
Where was I during this guy's heyday?!? December 24, 2007

I thought I had at least "touched" everything the '70's had to offer but somehow I managed to let Tommy Bolin slip by. What an unbelievable pearl of an album! If you are any kind of 70's rock fan then get this album and play it loud!
Jazz-Rock guitar that will leave your jaw on the floor! November 23, 2007
Listen to a sample of "Wild Dogs", pick your jaw up off of the floor, buy this album and PLAY IT LOUD....on a Premium Sound System.
What a treat!
We all lost Tommy WAY to early!!
Rock On!!!
