Info for Frampton Comes Alive!

Decades after its 1976 release, „Frampton Comes Alive!“ seems like an anomaly, with its unusual genesis almost impossible to believe. Peter Frampton, guitarist for a modestly successful boogie band (Humble Pie), released several solo records that were almost entirely ignored. However, he spent years crisscrossing the nation's sports arenas, opening for everyone under the sun, until so many people had seen him in America's hockey rinks that his double-LP live record became one of the most successful rock albums of all time.

Listening to the whole record--not just the three pop-rock gems that immediately became FM radio staples ('Show Me the Way,' 'Baby, I Love Your Way,' and the talkbox-enhanced jam 'Do You Feel Like We Do')-- it's clear that its success is due to Frampton's road-tested mastery of the sweetly melodic material, which didn't rock this hard on the original studio recordings. Of course, „Frampton Comes Alive!“ also won over a legion of fans with its classic rock-god album cover. Any way you look at it, „Frampton Comes Alive!“ is a classic for a reason.

Peter Frampton
has long been since been a mainstay on the rock scene. He played in such late ‘60s-early ‘70s bands as Herd and Humble Pie, as well as appeared on George Harrison’s classic All Things Must Pass album. Frampton’s debut solo album, Wind of Change (A&M), was released in 1972. Prior to releasing Frampton Comes Alive!, the prolific songwriter had recorded a handful of well-received solo albums, with the gold-selling Frampton reaching #32 on the U.S. charts in 1975. This is the studio recording that yielded the classics, such as “Show Me The Way” and “Do You Feel Like We Do,” that would help drive the enormous success of Frampton’s live opus.

His most recent album, Fingerprints features Frampton having exhilarating musical conversations with a who’s who of the pop world, including Rolling Stones Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and Matt Cameron, original Shadows Hank Marvin and Brian Bennett, Allman Brothers/Gov’t Mule slide slinger Warren Haynes, Nashville pedal steel virtuoso Paul Franklin and gypsy guitar maestro John Jorgenson. In addition, Frampton band mate, Gordon Kennedy, who co-wrote many of the originals as well as co-produces the album, is prominently featured as a guitar companion

“This is the album I’ve been waiting my entire life to make,” says Peter Frampton of his remarkable new CD, Fingerprints (A&M/New Door/UME). It’s an impressive 14-tune collection of guitar mastery that crosses several musical borders, from funked-up r&b to razor-edged rockers to rootsy blues to country-flamed beauties to jazzy Django swing to reflective impressionism. And, on the disc, in what may come as a surprise to longtime fans, Frampton begs off singing to focus exclusively on the six-string.

In 2000, Frampton earned a “Best Rock Instrumental Performance” Grammy nomination for Live in Detroit. His last album, 2003’s Now (Framptone/33rd Street Records), prompted the Associated Press to declare: “When it comes to fiery, guitar-drenched rock, Frampton delivers.”

This album contains no booklet.
