When we formed Humble Pie, the first material we played together was just that.
Of the album, Frampton explains, “I have always loved to play the blues. The album was recorded at Frampton’s studio in Nashville and was co-produced by Frampton and Chuck Ainlay. Peter Frampton Band’s latest album All Blues is a collection of Frampton’s favorite blues classics and was recorded with his longtime touring band, made up of Adam Lester (guitar/vocals), Rob Arthur (keyboards/guitar/vocals) and Dan Wojciechowski (drums). “If it’s something that might have legs for the future, nothing would please me more.Talking About Touring, New Album, and More “If it’s successful and promoters want to do it again, it would be a dream to be a biannual thing or every three years or something,” Frampton notes. And if all goes well he hopes to put his ringmaster’s hat on again in the future. And that’s what I want.”įrampton, who will also be touring Germany in October and November, will keep the Circus on the road through the end of August. And if there’s local people that just want to turn out and play, I’m sure that could be part of this, too. “Who’s gonna sit in with who I don’t know ’til we actually get out there. “I’ve got a whole bunch of people that want to sit in during my segment of the show, too,” Frampton says. King, Robert Cray and Sonny Landreth - with other surprises likely to surface during the course of the tour.
But Jerry and I are very pleased that people are willing to go to lengths to do these things now for Humble Pie, because I think it’s a very underrated band and it needs this, if only just for the memories of Steve and Greg (Ridley).”įrampton, meanwhile, is getting ready for the May 26 kickoff of his summer Guitar Circus tour, which will feature special guests such as B.B. If I say too much, then it’ll fall through and I’ll look like an idiot!. “It’s who it will be with that will be very exciting - if it comes off.
“I can’t tell you what it is, but something special will happen,” Frampton says. Frampton says a career-spanning Humble Pie box set will likely come out in 2014, while there’s a possibility he and Shirley may put together some sort of live representation of Humble Pie’s music to coincide with these releases. Shirley, who published his memoir “Best Seat in the House: Drumming in the ’70s With Marriott, Frampton, and Humble Pie” in 2011, is writing liner notes for the set, whose release date has not been set. It’s just form the moment we walk on stage to the moment we walk off. Just to hear Steve (Marriott) talk, and we haven’t edited anything out. And it’s so great to be able to take yesterday’s 24-track (tape) and use today’s technology to bring out what’s really there.
The performances are all radically different ’cause they’re all ad-libbed, and Humble Pie is that way. “they are the same, basically, apart from maybe one different title. “We just mixed all four nights,” Frampton tells Billboard. Frampton and Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley are working with Omnivore Recordings on a box set culled from the group’s four May 1971 shows at New York’s Fillmore East which were sourced for the legendary “Performance Rockin’ the Fillmore” album. Perhaps the most exciting news is the impending release of some choice material from his old band’s vault. From ballet to the circus to dishing up some Humble Pie, Peter Frampton has plenty on his plate these days.
