Passin' Thru (James Gang album)


Passin' Thru is the fifth studio album by James Gang, released in October 1972, and their final album released on ABC Records. The band moved to Atco Records the next year.
This album is the last James Gang recording featuring guitarist Domenic Troiano, who was replaced by Tommy Bolin.
The scene shown on the album's cover is of the 100 block of East Main Avenue in Bismarck, North Dakota in the 1880s. The large building in the background still stands.

Critical reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote the album "Passin' Thru didn't hit as hard as its predecessor, but it did provide an effective showcase for Troiano's talents."
