Tommy Bolin runs "Post Toastee" from top to bottom on Private Eyes, his 1976 album: he wrote it alone, sings it, plays the guitar and co-produced it with Dennis MacKay. The band around him is stacked for groove. Reggie McBride holds down the bass, Bobby Berge plays drums and piles on percussion, Mark Stein works the keyboards, and Bobbye Hall brings still more percussion to the party.
The wild card is Norma Jean Bell, who blows saxophone, bangs on percussion and sings backup alongside McBride and Stein. Thomas La Tondre and Stephen W. Tayler engineered the track. Three percussionists on one song tells you plenty: this is a guitar player's record that wants the hips moving, not just the heads nodding.
