지퍼"ZEPHYR", 제임스 갱"JAMES GANG", 딥 퍼플"DEEP PURPLE"을 두루 거쳤으며 재즈 드러머 빌리 코벰 "BILLY COBHAM"의 명반 [SPECTRUM]에 그 이름을 올리기도 했던 마이애미 출신 기타 천재 "타미 볼린"의 솔로 데뷔작. [TEASER] 발매 이후 당시 DEEP PURPLE의 리치 블랙모어가 RAINBOW 결성을 위해 그룹을 떠난 후 그 후임으로 거론되기도 했던 제프 벡, 데이브 ‘클렘’ 클렘슨을 제치고 당당히 입성, 거의 전 곡을 작곡하고 연주한 딥 퍼플 최후의 스튜디오 앨범 [COME TASTE THE BAND]을 완성해 낸다. 본작 [TEASER]는 POP, ROCK, JAZZ, BLUES가 혼합된 이른 바 FUSION-ROCK의 총아가 집결된 앨범으로 그가 표현하고자 했던 음악적 방향을 가늠케 해 주고 있으며 그의 이상"理想"은 얀 해머, 제프 포카로, 데이비스 포스터, 데이빗 샌본, 필 콜린스 등 내놓으라 하는 POP/ROCK 계 거물들의 전폭적인 서포트로 그 결실을 맺는다. 이국적인 향취와 넘실대는 기타 애드립, 말로 형언할 수 없는 인상적인 솔로가 일품인 명곡 ‘SAVANNAH WOMAN’은 국내 모 CF에 삽입되면서 많은 수의 TOMMY BOLIN 팬들을 양산하게 된다. 명곡 ‘HELLO AGAIN’에 필적하는 아름다운 발라드 ‘DREAMER’, 가공할 기타 솔로와 제프 포카로, 데이빗 샌본을 포함한 걸출한 사이드맨들의 개인기량이 유감없이 표출된 퓨전 재즈-록의 모범답안 ‘MARCHING POWDER’ 등의 필청 트랙 또한 놓치지 말아야 할 보석과 같은 곡들이다. 안타깝게도 타미 볼린은 두번째 솔로작 [PRIVATE EYES] 발매 후 심장마비로 사망하여 팬들은 더 이상 그의 새로운 음악을 들을 수 없다. 하지만 그가 남긴 여리면서도 호소력 짙은 감성과 타의 추종을 불허하는 핑거링과 솔로잉, 각 트랙마다 빛나는 천재적인 작곡법은 30년이 지난 지금에도 그 빛을 발하고 있다. .... ....
halfway gone, halfway back you are always dreaming about what you'd like you are taking your time in your busy day to sit by the tract and watch the train roll away
* dreamer i know what you are thinking i can see it in your face maybe before you were happy but now your thoughts are on disgrace
you've begun to change now baby, i don't see oh, but i know you well and it's clear to me you think that chains hold you near, now baby they don't exist to me, you don't have to stay now i won't insist
* repeat
so take the train today, and don't look back again live the dreams you have, don't dwell on what has been your futures brighter now, there's brighter days ahead and your sad farewell words, better off unsaid.
Savannah Woman dressed in white Stands out of tropical rains She pulls her gin and tonics tight And curses her lonely domain Brazilian winds blow warm in Rio A white estate they call "La Nada" Meant for her soul or so she says Hides her sadist gin made eyes
No One knows but me How she left me so behind Savannah Woman I could never leave you so unkind
Snow white and with desire That vamp from the magazine Cold and Distant as the moon why can’t she burn like fire?
No One knows but me How she left me so behind Savannah Woman I could never leave you so unkind
That woman`s got a smile, puts you in a trance And just one look at her, makes you wanna dance Those dark and those red ruby lips, only a fool would pass them by With just a hint of ruthlessness, sparklin` in her eye She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all She`s a teaser and she`ll tempt you `till you fall Yeah she`ll tempt ya `till ya fall
She sips gin from a teacup, wears those fancy clothes And somebody always knows her no matter where she goes She`ll talk to you in riddles, that have no sense or rhyme And if you ask her what she means, says she don`t got no time She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all She`s a teaser and she`ll tempt you `till you fall Yeah she`ll tempt ya `till ya fall
She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all She`s a teaser and she`ll tempt you `till you fall She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all
baggage hand came to my wrist i drag it everywhere i go sometimes i find you with my fist, as if i knew which way was home which way would i go, if i knew which way was home?
the corner club we use, will bring that whisky in my water at times i get the blues, but i now i should be harder where would i go, if i know which way was home?
* run down those trails, a chance for love must have life if's wild dogs, howling in the night, yes wild night
it would have come and cut me free i am sick of my own company sometimes i miss the goal most times i miss my home still i'd go, if i knew which way was home
clear dyes, he dies on his own time roar and i want hear, your thunder call each other chinese names none f these books just have a number there's a garden where the devil lurks such a strange life this
* they break their books for suede and gold and all the things which they buy, things that i thought were heavy loads like a lotus in the oriental
