She was brown as this good earth
With eyes that flashed like lightening
When she spoke of simple quests
The words were almost frightening
She was slender as the willow
With long dark hair across her back
Which would gently shake as she laughed
About the way she conquered soldiers
She was my Spanish lover
So gracefully insane
And with no traces of shame
She was like no other
She was simple as a one word answer
And that somehow she seemed to survive
In this complex world we're all facing
She was so delightfully alive
She was brown as this good earth
With eyes that flashed like lightening
When she spoke of sinful quests
The words were almost frightening
She was my Spanish lover
So gracefully insane
And with no traces of shame
She was like no other
She was like no other
She was like no other

Tommy Bolin (1951-1976) è stato un chitarrista statunitense considerato uno dei più talentuosi e influenti del suo tempo. Nato a Sioux City, Iowa, iniziò a suonare la chitarra all'età di 10 anni, dimostrando subito un talento naturale. Dopo aver suonato in diverse band locali, si trasferì a Los Angeles nel 1972 per perseguire una carriera musicale più ambiziosa. Nel corso della sua breve ma intensa carriera, Bolin collaborò con artisti come James Gang e Deep Purple, contribuendo a definire il sound hard rock degli anni '70. La sua tecnica chitarristica era caratterizzata da un mix di virtuosismo bluesy e influenze progressive, con una grande attenzione all'improvvisazione. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Post Toastie", "The Road Goes On Forever" e "Smoke on the Water". Purtroppo, la sua carriera fu interrotta prematuramente da un overdose di eroina nel 1976, a soli 25 anni. La scomparsa di Bolin lasciò un vuoto incolmabile nella scena musicale rock.
