Frampton (Remaster) (CD)

Peter Frampton started out with British pop-rockers the Herd in the mid-1960s before moving on to a harder sound with U.K. blues-rock legends Humble Pie. Singer/guitarist/songwriter Frampton started a solo career in the '70s that didn't really take off until he released a concert recording in 1976. His massive hit double-live album FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! almost single-handedly re-popularized the live-album format for other rockers, and made the curly-haired singer a rock god and pinup boy overnight. Naturally, he could never equal that record's runaway success, but Frampton never stopped working. He even took a spot in David Bowie's band for a while in the '80s, ever the guitarist's guitarist.

Liner Note Author: Peter Frampton.

Recording information: Clearwell Castle, Gloucestershire, England.

A year before he achieved international success with FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE, ex-Humble Pie guitarist Peter Frampton struck gold on his self-titled album. "Show Me the Way" and "Baby, I Love Your Way," tracks that would become smash singles on the live album, may have secured FRAMPTON's place in rock history, but the lesser-known songs are just as fine and memorable. Frampton plays guitar, organ, and the familiar talkbox, along with piano, which lends a loose, jamming feel to "Day's Dawning."

The less-familiar studio version of "Show Me the Way" proves that Frampton can write a pop tune with a great hook, while his soulful voice and production talent are evident on the casual "One More Time" and on the jazzy "The Crying Clown." The island-flavored instrumental "Nassau" segues into the immensely popular "Baby, I Love Your Way." Frampton layers fancy acoustic chords melodiously on the beautiful "Penny for Your Thoughts," contrasting with the heavy crunch of "(I'll Give You) Money." Another stand-out, "Nowhere's Too Far (For My Baby)," is a classic-rock sing-along. FRAMPTON should appeal to pop lovers, as well as fans of British rock.
