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.
