3.0 out of 5 stars Greatest guitarist. Ever., 15 Sep 2006
By Mr. H "the-rocker.co.uk" (Embra) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
I'm probably the wrong person to be reviewing this. so dogmatic am I in my long standing belief that Tommy Bolin is one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. However, that's tempered by my loathing of smackheads and the torrent of shoddy releases from the Tommy Bolin archives over the years.

Some of those releases have been downright reprehensible. Every sneeze, splutter and snort he ever squeezed out seems to have found its way on to a CD and marked as a 'historic release'. So, when SPV announced a landmark series of release, I was a tad sceptical. And, it seems, with good reason.

Yes, there's some inspirational playing here, but there's some unmitigated tosh as well. Which means it's the same old song and dance, but remastered. On the plus side, the good material does sound better than ever, with some quality spit and polish applied to alternate takes of "The Grind" and "Crazed Fandango", which are superb. But some of the material should never have been released, especailly "Spacy Noodles" and "Bolins Boogie", which are dire as their names suggest. It certainly doesn't help when the compiler doesn't recognise the blues standard "Stormy Monday Blues" and labels it "Tommys Got Da Blues". T-Bone Walker will be doing some spinning, that's for sure.

There is a great Tommy Bolin compilation waiting to be released which will restore his name to the pantheon of greats, but this isn't it, although the Geffen box set came close. However, I'm speaking as a fanatic, desperate for Tommy to get the recognition he deserves. Those of us who already love his work will be compelled to buy this, but it won't win over any new converts.
