"Passin' Thru" is the fifth studio album by James Gang, released in October 1972. It marks the band's final album under ABC Records before they moved to Atco Records the following year. The album features guitarist Domenic Troiano in his last recording with the band before being replaced by Tommy Bolin. The album showcases James Gang's blend of rock, blues, and funk, with tracks like "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and "Up to Yourself" highlighting their trademark groove and tight musicianship. The cover of the album depicts a scene from Bismarck, North Dakota, in the 1880s, adding a visual element to the album's thematic exploration. Despite being a transitional period for the band, "Passin' Thru" remains a notable chapter in James Gang's discography and their contribution to 1970s rock music.
