35 years after Tommy Bolin's death, some of the best rock musicians of the last decades (most of them had played alongside Bolin in his lifetime), were given the chance to jam with their friend and hero for the last time. Produced by Warren Haynes (Allman Bros, Gov't Mule) and Greg Hampton (Alice Cooper Band, Lita Ford), "Tommy Bolin & friends - Great Gypsy Soul" is a unique piece of work; blessed and approved by Bolin's family, the original multi-tracks of his best songs have been reworked with the contribution of a great group of guest stars.
Supersonic Blues Machine have the form of a supergroup, but only their drummer, Kenny Aronoff, is well known. The other two members – bassist/producer Fabrizio Grossi and guitarist/vocalist Lance Lopez – are behind-the-scenes musicians but they're all united by a love of classic blues and classic rock. The latter is what initially brought Aronoff and Grossi together. The two musicians were playing in Goodfellas, a side project from Toto guitarist Steve Lukather. Not long afterward, Grossi was working with Lopez on an album by the guitarist and that turned into the band that became Supersonic Blues Machine. Several guests visited the studio during the recording of the band's debut – the biggest being Billy Gibbons, Warren Haynes, and Robben Ford – and the subsequent West of Flushing South of Frisco saw release in early 2016. The band's sophomore effort, 2017's Californisoul, featured guest spots from Gibbons, Steve Lukather, Eric Gales, and Walter Trout.

He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. Worrell was described by Jon Pareles of The New York Times as "the kind of sideman who is as influential as some bandleaders."
