Great gypsy soul

"Denne gang sendes alternative/ufærdige takes - overvejende fra Teaser - i hænderne på kolleger lige fra jazz-esset John Scofield over Totos Steve Lukather til Purple-kollegaen Glenn Hughes i en uskøn blanding, hvor det mest påfaldende er, at hvert et my af den luft Bolin med vilje efterlod i musikken ved siden af den skarpe stemme og kantede finurlige guitar er fyldt med jam og spadeduel. Som salig DanTurèll sagde: For meget, mand".

"Tracks like "Teaser," "The Grind," "Wild Dogs," and "Lotus" sound flat and lifeless; the gap between the new recordings and the old ones is huge. Bolin's memory would have been far better served if Hampton and Haynes simply rounded up the same group of players and a decent vocalist or three, and played their asses off in celebration of Bolin's influence and originality. Some of this sounds like they actually want to compete with him. Sad. Skip this".
