Not Purp's Best, But Still A Good Rocker

This is the one and only Deep Purple album featuring Tommy Bolin grinding the fretboard. The music here suffers from being under the name 'Deep Purple', as it is not up to the raw power of Machine Head, Made In Japan, etc. But it is good rock in it's own right. Bolin brought in a funkier, honky tonk feel toward which bassist Glenn Hughes already leaned. The result is distinctly different sound than pervious Purple efforts. The musical performances are strong and tight, particularly Ian Paice's drumming and Jon Lord's keyboards. The song writing is reasonable and the overall sound quite good. For me, the weakest aspect is David Coverdale's lyrics. As Jon Lord said years later, "David wants to make love to the gypsy woman before hitting the long road." This is the first of many albums in which Coverdale's formulaic and often cliche approach to lyrics rears its head. To his credit, Coverdale's voice is very strong and rich and this should not be lost on the listener. This album is most poignent as an archive of Tommy Bolin's guitar work, one of relatively few in his brief career. He passed away shortly after the release of this album at the age of 25. :( Overall, this album is good rock and will be best appreciated on its own merits rather than compared to Purple's previous efforts. Buy it and...Come Taste the Band.

Not their Best, But....

Ok, this album seems to be a point of contention amongst Hardcore Deep Purple fans for this is the only album to feature neither Ian Gillan nor Richtie Blackmore. The standout moments on this recording are great. Tommy Bolin's solo on Coming Home is sublime and You Keep on Moving ranks up there with the Classic Deep Purple. Sure it is flawed, but it give it a chance. Not their best, but far from a disappointment and worth the purchase.

Come taste this cd!

This cd is one of the best for the Deep Purple era. With a mixture of Funk,Rock and Soul. This Cd is a must have for CLASSIC PURPLE FANS! David Coverdale (Whitesnake) vocals with Glenn Huhes(Bass) is awsome. This Time Around is one of the better songs on the CD....Try it!
