I've heard many tunes in my life & I really think this is the first listen for this one. Nice reverb...
Ohhh, Lordy! What a great album! We used to jam on this one! "Busting Out For Rosie" and "Post Toastee" are my personal favorites. What a shame, Tommy crashed and burned.

But, like Edna St. Vincent Millay said: "My candle burns at both ends; / It will not last the night; / But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends – / It gives a lovely light!"

RIP, brother. You rocked the house. {#Wave}
Ah, a favorite from my college DJ days - and also one of my favorite album covers.

Don't you miss those wonderful 12 inches of space - CD covers just don't do it.
I wonder if Supertramp heard this (George Harrison style) before Bloody Well Writing "Crime of the Century"?

Wow! A late night staple at our college radio station.....KCOU at Mizzou.  Long enough to run outside for a quick hit.....and come back in to that jammin guitar ending.....

Actually, he was from Sioux City, Iowa, but did move to Boulder after he refused to cut his hair in high school.

You got that right!

Oh My Goddess!  I've not heard this since, Jeezus, something like thirty years ago!  Listened to this all the time when I was in college back in the Before Time. A definate trip down mammory lane.

Sweet! Brings back some fond memories. Thanks for playing this!

You said that! Much more!

made it out of the LRC, woooooohoo!!!!
I really like his Savannah Woman, but not this track.
Wow!! Haven't heard this since I had a turntable! Great!
Tommy was such an underrated guitarist.  Check out his work on Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" CD, or his first solo CD, "Teaser."
Great work all around!  And he was from Iowa to boot.
Brilliant bit of funky 70s rock!
More Bolin please!
Hot damn. {#Dance}
Great to have my upload added! The first song on the playlist from Tommy Bolin's Private Eyes LP/CD. Awesome choice.
