OFF: The MTV generation

[Tom Clark]

Come Taste the Band

It's a great album, though I wouldn't necessarily call it a Deep Purple
album.  Tommy Bolin (a crafty guitaris), David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes on
vocals are a departrure from previous DP styles - leaning a bit towards the
jazzy and funk side, though still keeping it all in a hard rock vein.  That
leaves Ian Paice Jon Lord as the only original members.  Keyboard are not as
prominent on this album as are the vocals and guitars.  It's got a few tunes
worthy of cranking up the stereo - especially the first track. Definitely
worth getting.
