Frampton Comes Alive! (1976) |
Frampton is a studio album by Peter Frampton before he went on tour to record Frampton Comes Alive! The most recognizable songs from the album are "Show Me The Way" and "Baby, I Love Your Way" which were later recorded on Frampton Comes Alive! which became number one hit singles in 1976. Ringo Starr played on this whole album with Peter Frampton. As a guitarist Frampton puts the likes of Clapton and Blackmore in their proper perspective with playing as distinctive and versatile (in both technical and emotive terms) as anything Joe Pass and Herb Ellis might concoct were they to sashay into the English rock idiom. All of which were released as singles, and continue to receive much airplay on classic rock radio stations. Frampton uses a talk box extensively on the album.
