Tommy Bolin: Private Eyes (1x LP 180g) In the course of his sadly short life, Tommy Bolin was at least granted eight productive years during which he was able to contribute to what was probably the most innovative era of rock’n’roll. His outstanding skill on the guitar brought him legendary status during his lifetime when he replaced the - in many ways - unique Ritchie Blackmore as frontman with Deep Purple. Jon Lord, keyboarder with the group, once described Bolin as a »beautiful lost soul«, and as such he allows one a very private glimpse into his musical perspective in his second and final album. This is certainly dualistic: in numbers such as "Post Toastee" and "Shake The Devil" Bolin sings about drug problems in a dry rocker style that is enhanced by his superb guitar playing. But this hard rocker shows just how stylistically assured he is in more gentle realms, as in the highly melodic ballad "Sweet Burgundy", which makes for enjoyable listening. Bolin’s subtle fingering creates a natural and electrifying "Gypsy Soul" and his "Hello, Again" is narrated softly to the sound of old-fashioned strings and winds. The relaxed tone of the recording is quite typical of the notions of sound at that time and reminds one yet again that the great voices of rock are now heard in heaven. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid. In seinem viel zu kurzen Leben war es Tommy Bolin immerhin vergönnt, acht produktive Jahre lang die vielleicht innovativste Zeit des Rock’n’Roll mitzugestalten. Seine überragenden Fertigkeiten an der Gitarre nahmen bereits zu Lebzeiten legendären Status an, als er den in vielen Punkten einmaligen Ritchie Blackmore als Frontmann bei Deep Purple ablöste. Purple-Keyboarder Jon Lord bezeichnete Bolin einmal als »beautiful lost soul«, und als solche richtet er in seinem zweiten und letzten Album einen ganz privaten Blick in seine musikalische Landschaft. Und diese ist durchaus zweigeteilt: in Stücken wie "Post Toastee" und "Shake The Devil" singt Bolin in trockener Rocker-Manier zu seinen Gitarrenkünsten über Drogenproblematik. Wie stilsicher dieser Hardrocker andererseits auch sanfte Töne anstimmt, lässt sich im harmonieschwangeren Balladenstyle von "Sweet Burgundy" genussvoll erlauschen. Mit subtilen Griffen formt Bolin eine natürliche wie elektrisierende "Gypsy Soul" und zelebriert sein ruhig buchstabiertes "Hello, Again" unter archaischen Streicher- und Bläserklängen. Der relaxte Sound in der Wiedergabe entspricht ganz den zeittypischen Klangvorstellungen und erinnert einmal mehr daran, dass die großen Stimmen des Rocks heute im Himmel singen. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com.
