Album Review
Tommy Bolin
left
the James Gang
after the release of
Miami
, leaving the band without a compelling lead guitarist once again.
Fox
and
Peters
broke up the group after his departure, but they re-formed a year later, adding guitarist
Richard Shack
and vocalist
Bubba Keith
. The new version of
the James Gang
released their first album,
Newborn
, in 1975. The record was another collection of mediocre songs -- a problem that plagued the band ever since the departure of
Joe Walsh
in 1971. On
Bang
and
Miami
, the group were able to disguise the absence of good songs with
Bolin
's playing, but
Shack
could not compete with his predecessor's forceful, flowing style and
Newborn
suffered accordingly.
