Come Taste the Band is the tenth studio album by the English Rock band Deep Purple originally released in October 1975. The album was co-produced and engineered by the band and longtime associate Martin Birch. It is the only Deep Purple studio record featuring Tommy Bolin, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and is also the final of three albums to feature Glenn Hughes on bass and David Coverdale on lead vocals before he later left to form Whitesnake.
When Blackmore left the band in 1975, there was uncertainty over whether Deep Purple would continue, as they did when Ian Gillan left in 1973. It was David Coverdale who asked Jon Lord to keep the band together, and Coverdale was also a major factor in recruiting Tommy Bolin to take the guitar slot.[1]
Musically, the album is more commercial-sounding than the Deep Purple Mark III releases, leaning toward a conventional hard rock focus with overtones of soul and funk.
