Janis Joplin - Pearl

Janis Joplin  - Pearl
Release date:March 01, 1971
Genre: Blues Rock


Janis Lyn Joplin was born at St. Mary's Hospital in the oil-refining town of Port Arthur, Texas, on January 19, 1943. Her father was a cannery worker and her mother was a registrar for a business college. As an overweight teenager, she was a folk-music devotee (especially Odetta, Leadbelly and Bessie Smith).
After graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School, she attended Lamar State College and the University of Texas, where she played auto-harp in Austin bars.
A fraternity voted her the Ugliest Man on Campus in 1963, and she spent two years traveling, performing and becoming drug-addicted. Back home in 1966, her friend Chet Helms suggested she become lead singer for Big Brother and the Holding Company, an established Haight-Ashbury band consisting of guitarists James Gurley and Sam Andrew, bassist Peter Albin and drummer Dave Getz.
In March 01, 1971 Janis released her second solo studio album "Pearl". The power of the album leaves the listener to wonder what else Joplin could have accomplished, but few artists could ask for a better final statement. Joplin sang on all tracks except "Buried Alive in the Blues", which remained a Full Tilt Boogie instrumental because she died before adding vocals, but she approved the instrumental track. She died in October of 1970 from a heroin-alcohol overdose, and "Pearl" was released posthumously the following year.
The quadruple-platinum set became the top-selling release of Joplin's career and, in 2003, was ranked #122 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

    Roberta Joan Anderson (Joni Mitchell) was born on November 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada.

When she was 9 years old, Joni and her family moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the "city of bridges," which Joni has since referred to as her hometown.
    In June 1971 released her fourth album "Blue" but it had nearly reached the record buying public in a quite different form.
    In early March of 1971, the masters for the album were sent by Reprise to their record plants, and at least a few reel to reel copies of the album were recorded with a different song list.
    But word came down before many reels were produced that Joni had decided to recall the master tape and substitute two new songs - "All I Want" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard" - for two of the older ones.
    The two songs deleted were "The Urge For Going", which appeared in 1972 as the B-side to "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio", and "Hunter (The Good Samaritan)", which has yet to appear on any record.
    The album reaching #15 on the Billboard 200 and #3 in the UK Albums Chart. The single "Carey" reached #93 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

    Bonnie Raitt - The Glow

    Bonnie Raitt - The Glow
    Release date:September 1979
    Genre: Rock
     
     
    Bonnie Lynn Raitt was born in Los Angeles, California, on November 8, 1949, of Broadway singer John Raitt and pianist Marge Goddard.
    In September 1979, released her seventh album "The Glow", that gets its strength from its covers.
    Raitt takes on "I Thank You," "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," and "Bye Bye Baby," and struts through them all with ease. "The Boy Can't Help It" doesn't fare as well. Robert Palmer's "You're Gonna Get What's Coming" makes for a great fit. Surprisingly, her take on Jackson Browne's "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate" doesn't dig as deep as the great original."
    The Glow" isn't a perfect album, but it's a great example of the music she was doing during a make-or-break time in her career.

    Music Portraits - Tommy Bolin



    Thomas Richard Bolin was born on 1st August 1951 in Sioux City Iowa.
    His father Richard was of Scandinavian descent and his mother Barbara was of Syrian.
    Tommy’s early interest in music centered around the sight of Elvis Presley on the Caravan of Stars television show, followed by Richard taking some of the family to see an Elvis performance when Tommy was five years old. That same year Tommy learned to pantomime to “Heartbreak Hotel” and appeared on “Kids Corner” (a local TV talent show) wearing a full Elvis costume. The station was impressed and asked him back three days later. He also came in second at a talent show at Lake Okoboji, after which his obsession with rock and roll began.
    Tommy’s first band was called the Miserlous, but he was quickly heard by members of Denny & The Triumphs, an experienced group of teenagers organized by George Larvick, Sr., father of band members Brad and George Jr. Tommy was invited to jam, and soon joined the group.
    Not long after, bassist Denny Foote was sacked, and the band changed it’s name to Patch of Blue with George Jr. taking over Denny’s bass spot. Patch of Blue lasted until mid-1967.
    He was meeting many musicians and club owners, but nothing was sticking together until his first late-night encounter in a blizzard with the members of what would become American Standard, and whose singer, Jeff Cook, would be associated with Tommy as a singer and later a lyricist for the rest of his life.
    By the end of the '60s, Bolin found himself in the blues-rock outfit Zephyr, led by Candy Givens.
    After a pair of albums that failed to attract a large audience, 1969's self-titled debut and 1971's "Going Back to Colorado", Bolin left Zephyr.
    Interested in the burgeoning jazz fusion scene, Bolin formed a similarly styled outfit, Energy.
    But apart from live shows and demos, Energy failed to secure a recording contract.
    Drummer Billy Cobham invited the young guitarist to play on his solo debut, Spectrum.
    Issued in 1973, the album became an instant fusion classic, as Bolin's fiery guitar work lit up such tracks as the over-the-top "Quadrant Four," "Stratus," and "Red Baron."
    Bolin was hired by the James Gang to get their career back on track, after founding guitarist Joe Walsh had left the group in 1971, the remaining members had seen their fortunes slowly fade.
    And while Bolin's arrival didn't return the group back to the top of the charts, a pair of quite underrated albums were issued, 1973's "Bang" and 1974's "Miami", as the guitarist also sang lead for the first time on record.
    In the start of 1975, Bolin contributed some studio guitar assistance to Canadian band Moxy during the recording of their debut album.
    Later in 1975 saw the release of Bolin's first solo record, "Teaser".
    After Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple, the band had a meeting and discussed whether to disband or try and find a replacement, and chose the second option. David Coverdale had been listening to the Billy Cobham LP Spectrum. He decided he wanted Tommy in Deep Purple, and invited him over for a jam. Tommy showed up with his girlfriend in tow wearing a see through mesh mini-skirt. He plugged into 4 Marshall amps and jammed with the band for 4 hours. The job was his. The band then relocated to Munich, Germany, to begin work on "Come Taste the Band". Bolin wrote or co-wrote seven of the record's nine tracks, including the instrumental "Owed to G," which was a tribute to George Gershwin. "Come Taste the Band" was released in late 1975, and Australian, US and Japanese tours ensued. After Deep Purple disbanded in March 1976, Bolin was back on the road with his solo band with plans for a second solo record.
    By mid-1976, CBS signed Bolin and he began to record "Private Eyes", his second and last solo record.
    Sadly, Bolin was found dead from a heroin overdose on December 4, 1976, in Miami, FL (the day after opening a show for Jeff Beck), at the age of 25.

    Genre: Hard Rock
     
     
    Zephyr was formed in Boulder, Colorado in the early 1969. The band is most notable as the starting point for guitarist Tommy Bolin, who was still in his teens when they recorded their first album in 1969. "Zephyr" was the debut album of the band was released in October the results weren’t totally satisfying to the band, as they felt that it failed to capture the essence of their exciting live performances. Though it didn’t set records, the album was selling and their momentum continued to build.

    James Gang - Miami

    James Gang - Miami
    Release date:July 1974
    Genre: Hard Rock
     
     
    James Gang was one of the top hard-rock acts in America, formed in Cleveland , Ohio in 1966 by drummer Jim Fox.
    Though guitarist/singer Joe Walsh is most often associated with the early and highly successful James Gang, he actually was the replacement for Glenn Schwartz, who departed in January, 1968 .
    In December 1971 Walsh left the band and replacement by two Canadian musicians, singer Roy Kenner and guitarist Dominic Troiano. Troiano left the band in 1973. The remaining James Gang members contacted Tommy Bolin from a band called Zephyr, on the recommendation of Joe Walsh.
    After a 15 minute audition, Bolin was invited to join. The James Gang offered Bolin the chance to play in front of large audiences, contribute heavily in the song writing, and earn a significant living.
    Bolin wrote or co-wrote eight of the nine songs from the band's next album, "Bang". However, by the time the L.P. "Miami" was released in July of '74, Bolin had turned in his resignation to join Deep Purple. "Miami" is the seventh album by James Gang. The album was to some extent a letdown to fans who were blown away by "Bang". The material didn't seem quite as compelling, and there was somewhat of a feeling that the band was going through the motions.
    The album has held up quite well though, and is an essential additional to any Tommy Bolin fan’s library.
    The front cover is a black copy of their second album, James Gang Rides Again.

    Moxy - Moxy

    Moxy - Moxy
    Release date:1975
    Genre: Hard Rock
     
     
    "Moxy" (also known as the Black Album) was the debut album of Canadian Hard Rock and Heavy Metal band Moxy.
    The album was recorded in California in only two weeks with co-producer Mark Smith (of Bachman–Turner Overdrive fame acted).
    Tommy Bolin appearance on the album was simply a stroke of luck. He happened to be in the same studio at the right time, and Moxy manager Roland Paquin knew Tommy from when Paquin was road manager for the James Gang. In spite of the short notice, Tommy plays some outstanding solos on a collection of great straight out hard rock tunes. After recording the album, the band headed back to Toronto and enlisted guitarist Buddy Caine to fill in the guitar parts that Bolin had added to the album. The album originally released in 1975 with "Fantasy" as the first single. The album produced the hit songs "Can't You See I'm a Star", "Train", "Out of the Darkness" and with "Sail On Sail Away" and "Moon Rider" that are still in the 2000s (decade) on the regular rotation on several Rock radio stations in Texas.

    Deep Purple - Come Taste The Band

    Deep Purple - Come Taste The Band
    Release date:10 October 1975
    Genre: Hard Rock
     
     
    When Ritchie Blackmore left the band in April 1975, there was uncertainty over whether Deep Purple would continue. Paice and Lord wanted to stop the band  but Hughes and Coverdale talked them into staying.
    The band auditioned a large number of guitarists, including Dave “Clem” Clemson. Clemson had been in the English jazz-rock band Colosseum, and was at the time of the audition a member of Humble Pie. Despite the band’s initial optimism, Clemson’s style didn’t match what the band was looking for, and the lack of chemistry dashed their high hopes, prompting Jon Lord to almost quit in frustration. Coverdale was a major factor in recruiting Tommy Bolin to take the guitar slot.
    "Come Taste The Band" is the tenth studio album by Deep Purple originally released in October 1975.
    Unfortunately, Bolin didn't have exceptional material to work with -- decent and likable, but hardly exceptional. While sweaty yet melodic cuts like "Dealer," "Lady Luck," and "You Keep on Moving" are far from bad, nothing here is in a class with "Smoke on the Water" or "Highway Star."
    The album was #19 in the UK charts, and #43 in the US and received a rave review in the leading British music paper, the New Musical Express. The album was certified Silver on 1 November 1975 by the BPI, selling 60,000 copies in the UK.

    Tommy Bolin - Private Eyes

    Tommy Bolin - Private Eyes
    Release date:September 1976
    Genre: Hard Rock
     
     
    In September of 1976 Tommy Bolin released the second (and last before he died after 3 months) solo album "Private Eyes".
    Unlike Tommy’s first effort (Teaser), "Private Eyes" goes a mellower route.
    The rockers are there in “Busting Out For Rosey,” “Post Toastee” and “Shake the Devil” but the majority of the work is much softer and jazzier, unlike the metal thrashings of Deep Purple. But Bolin wasn't simply a hard-rocker, he was extremely talented with other kinds of music, the quiet, acoustic-based compositions "Hello, Again" and "Gypsy Soul," and the heartbroken ballad "Sweet Burgundy."
    Tommy Bolin died in his hotel room on December 4th from an overdose of heroin and other substances, including alcohol, cocaine and barbiturates. Was 25 years old.
