Am listening to the 1976 Deep Purple line-up: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Tommy Bolin, Jon Lord, Ian Paice from their Come Taste the Band LP. Great stuff if you gave it a chance, post-Ian Gillan, Richie Blackmore and Roger Glover.
Bolin's guitar playing is superb, bluesy and soulful. Great use of the guitar effects and slide. Coverdale's voice is sublime. Check out 'Coming Home' to see what I mean.
Wonder what would have happened if Deep Purple hadn't broken up after that...
