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.
"Jesse Come Home" was the James Gang's final album, with new line up, Bubba Keith and Richard Shack left the band and replaced by Bob Webb and Phil Giallombardo. After "Jesse Come Home" failed to make the charts, Fox and Peters wisely decided to call it a day, disbanding the James Gang for the last time.
