It started off so well. As Jon Lord enthused in the October 1975
issue of Melody Maker: 'Tommy can't be so bad for us with so many
good ideas. All I can say is when you hear the album (Come Taste
The Band) you'll change your mind. Whether you like the music or
not, you'll have to realise that Deep Purple now have an excitement
in their playing that they haven't had in a long time...' Despite
calls of 'we want Blackmore' when Deep Purple Mark four played
live, there was so much more to American guitarist Tommy Bolin than
being Ritchie Blackmore's replacement. As a result, the purpose of
this long-overdue biography is to readdress the existing narrative
of Tommy Bolin's legacy. As well as discussing objectively Tommy's
time with Deep Purple, Laura Shenton offers an insight into his
musical achievements in his own right outside of the band, which
include two cult rock albums in Teaser and Private Eyes. He also
had a stint in The James Gang and made numerous guest appearances,
where his versatile and virtuosic skills as a guitarist were
utilised, before his untimely death in 1976 at the shockingly young
age of 25
