Time for a little guitar history lesson. In the 70's, Joe Walsh recommended a phenomenal guitar player named Tommy Bolin to replace him in The James Gang. A year later, Tommy moved on to replace Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple and his legacy grew. After his death, I met his brother, Johnnie who played drums with Black Oak Arkansas at the same time as I did. That friendship led to playing with Johnnie and Glenn Hughes for the Tommy Bolin Tribute tours and a great musical performance was released from that experience! We had such a rockin' good time working together that Johnnie offered me one of Tommy's acoustic songs that had never been released for my upcoming Miracle album and Johnnie played drums on it! Slow Driver is that song and as they say...the rest is history! Happy Birthday, Tommy!
YES! That is Tommy Bolin jamming with Lynyrd Skynyrd on his Explorer.

Prices getting higher,
Every day.
When it comes to good lovin',
It's the same old way.
High Cost of Love,
Getting higher everyday.
Seems the less I get,
The more I have to pay.
Came home with the groceries,
Said you need some more.
Gave you my last two dollars,
Said you need three or four.
High Cost of Love,
Getting higher everyday.
Seems the less I get,
The more I have to pay.
Got you a leather coat,
Said you wanted mink.
The way you spend my money you'd think you was,
Married to a bank.
High Cost of Love,
Getting higher everyday.
Seems the less I get,
The more I have to pay.
Where I live,
They want to raise my rent.
Before I make a dollar,
You know it's already spent.
High Cost of Love,
Getting higher everyday.
Seems the less I get,
The more I have to pay.
Seems the less I get,
The more I have to pay.
Experiencing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show changed my life and an entire generation of musicians were born. Their influence was immediate and long lasting. This recording of PAPERBACK WRITER is a tribute created by myself on guitar and bass with Walter Watson adding all the vocal tracks and drums. Photograph includes my personal collection of Beatle dolls and 1966 Epiphone Casino. Long live the Beatles!
Most of you know that I am a Beatle collector and I went so far as to record this tribute using my 1966 Epiphone Casino for rhythm work and 1965 Gibson SG for the lead and my vintage Hofner Beatle Bass! I had a blast recording this!
