Journalist and "Touched by Magic: The Tommy Bolin Story" book author Greg Prato recently spoke to the CD's producer, Greg Hampton, about the forthcoming release. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below:
Q: How did the idea of the Tommy Bolin tribute CD come up?
Greg Hampton: Warren Haynes and I starting talking about it in 2008. He seemed the best choice to co-produce since he also knows and loves Tommy's music, and we have been for many years and he is also one of the greatest guitarists/musicians of the last 25 years to emerge… he is highly respected around the world.
Q: Who's on the Bolin tribute CD?
Greg Hampton: Myles Kennedy, Warren Haynes, Brad Whitford,Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonnamassa, Peter Frampton, Steve Lukather,Steve Morse, Nels Cline, John Scofield, and quite a few other surprises!
