A spectacular collection of rare and unreleased
recordings from famed guitarist of Deep Purple, James Gang and the
Billy Cobham band, Tommy Bolin will be released on August 13th
by Purple Pyramid Records. 'Whirlwind', produced by Greg Hampton and
Johnnie Bolin, features rare material from Bolin's jazz-rock band
Energy, an epic 26-minute version of “Marching Powder” (here
called “Marching Bag”) from his first solo album 'Teaser', as
well as songs Tommy was preparing for his third solo album before his
untimely death in 1976.
Tommy
Bolin 'Whirlwind' will be released in both a beautiful 8-panel, 2-CD
digipak and a 2-LP gatefold vinyl set. For the ultimate collector,
Purple Pyramid Records will be releasing a special limited (1000
only) deluxe box edition of this exciting collection, which includes
the 2-CD digipak plus 4 color postcards, a Tommy Bolin signature
guitar pick, collectable patch and pin!
Says
producer Greg Hampton, “Tommy's
music was way ahead of its time. He's one of the truly greatest
guitarists to ever live, and he left an incredible legacy that will
continue to influence and inspire musicians forever. The tracks on
'Whirlwind' are remarkable because they give you a glimpse into the
amazing diversity Tommy was capable of.”
