Post Toastee by Tommy Bolin (1976)


In Tommy Bolin's short life(he died at age 25), he managed to be a member of Zephyr, The James Gang, and Deep Purple. Additionally, he managed to put out two solo albums before his death showcasing his virtuoso guitar skills. And, he also recorded with legendary jazz drummer Billy Cobham. Bolin had some serious chops.

It makes it all that much more disappointing that he died of a drug overdose in 1976. I have to think that he would have flourished in the 80's(a la David Coverdale).
