dazedcat Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This sounds very cool. Tommy Bolin was terrific, very underrated too. I'm happy to see he's not being lost to time. Thanks for the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pagemeister Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Tommy Bolin, ‘Savannah Woman’ – Song Review "The original track appeared on his solo debut ‘Teaser’ in 1975, and this recent take gives it a new life thanks to the additional guitar work of John Scofield, whose slinky playing gives the song a distinctly jazzier feel than the first version while still respecting the vibe of the original track. Ahh the wonders of modern technology! It should bring a smile to longtime Bolin fans, especially since it’s been tastefully done and really does come off as a genuine tribute instead of a cash-in of some sort."
