Teaser is the debut album from American guitarist Tommy Bolin. It was released in conjunction with the album Come Taste the Band by Deep Purple, on which Bolin also played guitar. Upon its release in 1975, Teaser received considerable praise from critics. Unfortunately, due to Bolin's obligations with Deep Purple he was unable to promote the album with a solo tour and sales were affected as a result.
This album is cherished by fans for the broad range of styles in Bolin's playing. The material spans hard rock, jazz, reggae and latin music, often blending these styles together within a single song. It is also considered by many to be some of Bolin's greatest recordings in his short career.
