Deep Purple - Come Taste The Band

featuring Tommy Bolin

bobby sutliff, only ghosts remain--in a parallel universe this guy'd be a big star--he's a guitar hero and a very good singer with excellent, jangly songs + a killer cover of richard thompson's "small town romance"

micronotz, 40 fingers--on first blush this is garden variety thrashy punk with a better-than-average singer. listen closer and you'll notice how hooky the songs are; most of them are still embedded in my cranium 30+ years after hearing 'em

poco, cantamos--unfairly overshadowed, imo, by the likes of csn, eagles, etc., but they're better musicians and less cringeworthy overall

@spiritofradio Thx for the quick reply. I will look for the 1959 Terre Haute stereo pressing. You might like Ruth Price With Shelly Manne... its a live recording from 1961(Contemporary S7590). One of my favorite jazz/vocal recordings from the 1960’s. Plan to spin it on Friday and report the SQ.

+1 on Bobby Sutliff

Love those Windbreakers albums. I need to devote more time to his solo records. Thanks for the tip.

@spiritofradio 👍

That Charlie album just grabs me, one of just a few I own where I almost always listen to both sides instead of one and then going on to the next record. I know you’re a fan James, of BJH too (Poor Man’s Moody Blues, haha!). Good stuff!
