To many, Tommy Bolin was the legitimate heir to Jimi Hendrix’s rock guitar throne. Stints with the James Gang and Deep Purple – as well as solo albums and a groundbreaking release with jazz-rocker Billy Cobham – certainly proved that the adulation was rightly deserved. And with a techno-color fashion sense, he certainly stood out from the pack. Only one problem, Tommy had a death-defying drug addiction, which ultimately would lead to a premature and tragic end - before he was able to truly take his standing among the elite musicians of the world. ‘Touched by Magic: The Tommy Bolin Story’ is the first book to focus entirely on the life story of Tommy Bolin – compiled from nearly 50 exclusive interviews (including family, friends, and band members that played alongside Tommy throughout the years). “After reading ‘Touched by Magic,’ it seemed to me every interview ‘takes you there’ for the moment…I give 105 stars to Greg!” -Johnnie Bolin, Tommy’s brother

In St. Louis, we had and have a great radio station KSHE, where I first heard Tommy Bolin in 1975. In the dorms in college, everyone would share their great "finds" in music, Bolin was mine. The Teaser and Private Eye's albums, I had to be purchased several times, either a scratch, or someone would do a non return from the lending library the "Peaches Crate of LP's" . It was funny, friends now 30 years later from college get together and ask me if I have Tommy on my I-phone (which I have about everything I can get my hands on over the years). A few of us also had a ritual of playing our favorite finds to get us pumped up for a a tough final, before marching out of the... More >
"Tommy's magic and dramatic story"
Tommy Bolin is my guitar hero from the time I was a kid. Now thanks to this marvellous book you fully entered his history from the beginning of his carrer, and you got the possibility to know every single detail of his musical and life style approach. Thanks Greg, really a great job, Tommy deserved this effort! At when a Film movie about him?
