Deep Purple – Come Taste The Band – CD
Come Taste the Band is a studio album by the British rock band Deep Purple, released in 1975. It is notable for being the only studio album to feature Tommy Bolin as the guitarist, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore after his departure from the band.
Come Taste the Band represents a departure from Deep Purple’s earlier sound, as it incorporates elements of funk, soul, and jazz alongside their trademark hard rock sound. The album features a more experimental and diverse musical approach compared to their previous releases.
Some notable tracks from the album include the opening track “Comin’ Home,” the funky “Gettin’ Tighter,” the energetic “Dealer,” and the atmospheric ballad “This Time Around/Owed to ‘G’.”
Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its release, Come Taste the Band has gained recognition over the years as a unique and underrated chapter in Deep Purple’s discography. The album captures a transitional period for the band, exploring new musical territories before their eventual breakup in 1976.
