Full title is: Whips and Roses

SPV have compiled this new Bolin retrospective, entitled Whips And Roses 1 featuring previously unreleased tracks, which testify to the American's amazing talent as a guitarist, vocalist and composer. All tracks on Whips And Roses are either alternative versions of familiar material or previously unreleased songs from incredible studio sessions, previously believed to have been lost. The title track of his solo debut, Teaser, Savannah Woman and Dreamer come in haunting versions, attesting to Bolin's unbelievably light style. Flying Fingers, with almost 16 minutes playing time, proves Tommy's amazing diversity as a guitar hero. Tommy today would be better than Jimi Hendrix, if both were still alive, claims producer Greg Hampton, who worked on Whips And Roses together with Bolin's brother Johnnie.
