| Propayne (Richmond VA) | Posted: Mar 11, 2010 - 08:09 Wow, sometimes I feel like Bill is sneaking a peek at my record collection! I just love this album. "People, People" is the standout track to me. It would really fit in here at RP (IMHO). |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Mar 11, 2010 - 07:41 6 Ho-Hums on the trot. Any more and I'll be falling asleep at my desk  |
| gatorade (Ocean Park, WA) | Posted: Dec 06, 2009 - 23:46 On of my all time favorites. Another one gone too damn soon. |
| Alpine (N39d39mW121d30m) | Posted: Sep 03, 2009 - 13:13 Tommy Bolin was awesome. The imagery of the lyrics in this tune is seductive. I'm gonna hav e have "Tight Gin And Tonic" tonite. What does that mean "Tight"? |
| John_ | Posted: Sep 03, 2009 - 13:06 Wow! — Once again — It's been awhile — Poor (long gone) Tommy |
| DaveInVA (In a crumbling Queen Anne mansion in Damnville, VA) | Posted: Sep 03, 2009 - 13:05 This reminds me of Steely Dan's style. Pretty good actually.... |

You may debate that, but it is just my humble opinion. First concert I ever saw was Tommy Bolin at the town auditorium in Sioux City. Great add! If you can find a good copy of "The Grind" I would suggest a listen. So cool that you got to see him in his hometown! He was a true original. |
| JoBo (California) | Posted: May 31, 2009 - 11:18 More Tommy Bolin, please. |

Other cool stuff to check out is the Deep Purple release he played on: "Come Taste The Band". Impressive to say the least.. I can't believe I'm agreeing with someone from Cleveland.   You are correct about "Come Taste The Band." |
| countyman (sixburgh) | Posted: Apr 29, 2009 - 18:55 Me too conglif. I'll have to go to the attic and pull the vinyl out and put it on the Technics. |
| conglif | Posted: Apr 29, 2009 - 18:51 Wow! Thanks, Bill; I had almost forgotten about this. Cool. |
| ajlept (Athens, GA) | Posted: Dec 24, 2008 - 13:15 Thanks Bill! A nice birthday present. |

| tulfan (One of the last ones in SE MI) | Posted: Aug 20, 2008 - 04:58 Wow, what a gem. Tommy Bolin's two disks have been a guilty pleasure of mine for years. It's really great to hear one of his finest here...How about Sweet Burgundy next time?? Cm |

That guitar riff on "Bustin' Out for Rosie" is too much!  I've got "Bustin' Out for Rosie" and "Shake the Devil" uploaded to the LRC. Look for them and "dimple a Chad" (Florida voting reference) for them. I'm thinking of throwing "Post Toastee"'s hat into the LRC ring, too (just as soon as one of my four uploads eats it or gets added). |

| junebaby65 (Cleveland, OH) | Posted: Feb 13, 2008 - 06:58 Folks would be well served to check out Deep Purple's Come Taste the Band on which Tommy performed. Great stuff.... |
| ajlept (Athens, GA) | Posted: Jan 12, 2008 - 16:52 I was going to upload some Tommy Bolin on the LRC but noticed that most has been rejected. Don't know why after reading all the love given out here. Maybe I will try again. One of the most original and talented Guitarist of the 70's. First heard him on Bill Cobham's Spectrum LP. His sound complimented Billy's distinctive drumming. What could have been! |
| fncll (Fairbanks, Alaska) | Posted: Nov 26, 2007 - 12:43 I had no idea Bolin played music like this at all. Time to do some digging and check it out... |
| meanfish (Texas) | Posted: Nov 26, 2007 - 12:40 Quite a guitarist,lots of personality, and soul, sad that he died in his prime, one more talented individual lost to heroin addiction. |
| Alafia (on the slopes) | Posted: Nov 26, 2007 - 12:37 More Tommy Bolin, please.  |
| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Nov 10, 2007 - 20:16 GREAT to hear this on RP...my old cassette this was on got real squeaky long ago... Would also love to hear Marching Powder, Homeward Strut, other gems from the Teaser record! GO BILL! RP RULES! |

Tommy's work with Billy Cobham was incredible. He was bound to no genre. Thanks for playing this. |
| cathenley (Santa Maria, CA) | Posted: Sep 08, 2007 - 23:45 Thank you for sure...he's a God... sharkartist wrote: Always gotta gloat a bit when ya hear one of your uploads played.  thanks to B&R for adding this. |
| sharkartist | Posted: Sep 08, 2007 - 23:45 Damn, this song makes me feel good! |
| cathenley (Santa Maria, CA) | Posted: Sep 08, 2007 - 23:44 Tommy Bolin was my life! He was the most talented person! Such a shame he had to OD, he was amazing. But, he knew it... Now I just remember him as one of the most talented guitar players I've ever seen. |
| YA_MAN (Irwin ,Pa) | Posted: Aug 24, 2007 - 07:38 Love this Guy and this song but if you gotta Rock play Bustin out for Rosie. OOH Ya !!! |

| ruthless (Midtown Memphis) | Posted: Aug 08, 2007 - 13:36 Some underlying current in this reminds me of "Love & Happiness". Not a bad thing. |
| Alpine (N39d39mW121d30m) | Posted: Aug 08, 2007 - 13:35 Sexy music. Love Tommy Bolin. I'll have to buy this now. Thanks alot Bill! |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Aug 08, 2007 - 13:34 Love it! |
| mamerjamer | Posted: Jul 23, 2007 - 20:15 What a refreshing inclusion in your playlist! This is a classic song by a great, great artist who left the world too soon. |
| SPACEDOG (Scoring Position) | Posted: Jun 22, 2007 - 10:01 Freakin' awesome, however this got on the playlist...Thanks, Bill!  |
| si | Posted: May 06, 2007 - 09:37 A man always destined to step into someone elses shoes;Joe Walsh in the James Gang, Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Shake The Devil was my favourite off of Private Eyes (I think!),but Teaser was a great album too. Very underrated. |

| Harleywrench (N.E., MD, USA) | Posted: Mar 04, 2007 - 11:22 Tommy Bolin is one of my favorite guitarists/songwriters. It's wonderful to hear his songs here. I'm continually amazed at the selection and variety of music on RP. Hearing Savanna Woman just emphasizes how great this station is! Thanks Bill! |

| Xeric (404 Not Found) | Posted: Feb 01, 2007 - 20:45 Yes. Tommy. Cool. |
| rockstarbro | Posted: Jan 19, 2007 - 15:38 Guitar Player magazine is featuring Tommy on the cover of their February 2007 issue. His name leads a list of 101 forgotten greats and unsung heroes. Thanks so much to Guitar Player for giving Tommy exposure to the prestigious magazines readers. |

| Alafia (L'Hiver, enfin!) | Posted: Jan 18, 2007 - 05:50 Oh yeah, I've had Tommy Bolin in my head as a perfect RP addition for months now! Unfortunately, all mine's on vinyl... Thanks for adding this. NOW, how about Post Toastee??? |
