Title: Bang? - This album's worth the shot!
Review: Another album I picked up to hear more from Tommy Bolin, this one did not disappoint. Back in my high school metal days I would have hardly given this album more than an approving nod but now I am glad to be able to appreciate it. Overall, it's a good straightforward early 70s rock album, American style, with some very talented guitar work by Bolin. The style of playing familiar on Deep Purple's Come Taste the Band and Bolin's solo albums is noticeable here. Some guitarists are technical masters while others go for style. Bolin has the technical side down perfectly and adds flair with sound effects that give punch to the music without detracting from the song. Personal favourites of mine are Standing in the Rain and Ride the Wind. Bolin's Alexis is a great ballad in the true sense of the word where the song tells a story.If you're into finding good rock albums from the 70s and enjoy some great guitar solos then this album is worth picking up.
