Tommy Bolin was a guest musician on the album, who had previously been the lead guitarist for the James Gang and would go on to replace Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Tommy Bolin does all but two guitar solos, all rhythm guitar and the solos on "Sail On Sail Away", "Can't You See I'm A Star" and the ending of "Train" were performed by Earl Johnson.Earl was actually supposed to have done all the guitar parts, but got into a disagreement with the producer and was consequently tossed out of the studio. Tommy Bolin, being nearby, was asked by Moxy's manager Roland Paquin to fill in for Earl Johnson. Roland Paquin knew Bolin from when he was road manager for the James Gang. The debut album originally released in 1975 by Polydor for distributing in Canada was picked up by many radio stations in the USA and was one of the most requested album in Texas and as consequence Moxy was picked-up by the larger Mercury Records label in the US and a national distribution deal was made and the album was reissued in 1976. Bolin was only in the studio for this album, contrary to popular belief that he appears on Moxy II. Though Tommys time with Moxy was short, the album is tremendously popular with Tommys fans. Tommys tone and phrasing were very similar to his classic James Gang sound. The album produced the hit songs "Can't You See I'm a Star", "Train", "Out of the Darkness" and with "Sail On Sail Away" and "Moon Rider" that are still in the 2000s on the regular rotation on most Rock radio stations in Texas. The album sold well because of heavy promotion by the label who released the album on 8 Track in large numbers. Buddy Caine who is listed on the album cover did not join the band until after the album was finished, Buddy a rhythm guitarist was brought on by the band to free up Earl Johnson so he could play on the road what Tommy Bolin had added to the songs in the studio

@MeanrBeanr '70's was it for Rock. Yes, you could go to several shows on those Ticket prices and a much stronger Dollar. They're destroying us from the inside and we have allowed it to happen. Didn't care for the Punk, Glitz/'guy liner' crap. Just straight ahead Rock.

@ddooley8541 HS for moi. ) Allowed me to travel to see them more times. Last time was about 6-7 yrs ago. Not as good as in their heyday, but it was good to see them again. Michael Schenker was the best act that night. I wish I would have gotten a Shirt.!

THIS is Hard Rock. What a fantastic band! A family vacation to the Great White North in 1976 introduced me to one of Canada's finest as I stumbled across their Moxy II album on red vinyl in a record store in Toronto & Mom bought it for me cause Mom was so cool!!!! And so began my Moxy addiction.
