When Tommy Bolin passed away on December 4, 1976, rock lost more than one of its greatest ever guitar players. Gone, too, was all of the music that he would have gone on to make – just 25 when he died, Bolin was still at the dawn of his career. The future would have been breathtaking.
In August, Cleopatra Records continues its celebration of his memory with a reissue of Great Gypsy Soul, a deluxe reissue of the 2012 star-studded collaborative album.
Featuring a veritable who’s who of guitarists and musicians weaving their own magic into some of Bolin’s greatest tracks, Great Gypsy Soul includes performances from Peter Frampton, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, fellow DP alumni Glenn Hughes, Nels Cline, Warren Haynes and many more.
This reissue expands the original album to a 2CD set with numerous bonus tracks and brand new artwork, plus the first ever vinyl pressing.
Pre-order CD/vinyl here, and digital here.
