Re: Tommy Bolin - Great Gypsy Soul

Finally received this album and put it on my iPod. Another great one! If you're a fan of Tommy Bolin, this updated album is for you. All the artists playing on this mixed seamlessly into Tommy's original tracks. Joe's playing is perfect on "Lotus". This album had a more Jeff Beck/ jazzier feel to it than I remember from back in the day but I love it as it brought back memories/feelings from back in the early 80's when I first discovered Tommy. I got this one along with Warren Haynes's "Live At The Moody Theater" which I personally don't enjoy as much. The album is fine, but just doesn't hit that magic spot for me. Worth a listen though.

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?

I received this a couple of weeks back early (don't know why) a very good varied album. Yes I agree on the slightly jazzier style and yes Joe does his part magnificently. An aldum I would recommend for a change of scene once in a while.

Re: Tommy Bolin - Great Gypsy Soul

I've had this on the radar for a while and finally pulled the trigger earlier this week. I'm listening to it now. Just incredible!

Major Tom to ground control...
