…(cont) Humble Pie the full fiery amalgam was unleashed of Small Faces veteran Steve Marriot’s megawatt blue-eyed soul voice , the thundering rhythm section of ex-Spooky Tooth bass player Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley, with the melodic lyrical lead guitar of a teenage Peter Frampton. Frampton and Shirley join me In The Studio for this classic rock interview on the golden anniversary of Humble Pie “Rockin’ the Fillmore”..
“There was only ONE of those voices,” Peter Frampton reminded me emphatically one time. Here the late Steve Marriott displays one of the reasons he was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the lead singer of the Small Faces , with one of their signature songs “Tin Soldier” performed live […]
The sub-title of this classic rock interview should probably be “Frampton Barely Survives”. Everybody knows that young Englishman Peter Frampton revolutionized the recording industry in early 1976 with his live double set “Frampton Comes Alive”. But where did those now-iconic songs like “Show Me the Way”, “Lines on My Face”, “Baby I Love Your Way”, “All I Want to Be (Is By Your Side)”, and “Do You Feel Like We Do” originally come from? Peter joins me In the Studio to trace the days after he left Humble Pie, his struggles with four solid but woefully under-exposed solo studio albums, his phenomenal transformation into pop superstardom with the live album, and the tumultuous years immediately afterward trying to survive it all.
On the debut “Shake Your Moneymaker”, The Black Crowes sounded as if the late Small Faces/ Humble Pie dynamo Steve Marriott had gone on holiday to Paris and dropped in on the Rolling Stones sessions while recording “Exile on Main Street”. Chris & Rich Robinson are my guests In the Studio.
Those first two Faces albums were critical faves but received scant U.S. airplay, but that all changed in a hurry in November 1971 with “A Nod is As Good As a Wink” containing the international hit “Stay With Me”. Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, & archival comments from the late Ian McLagan ( Ronnie Lane passed as well ) face the music In the Studio for their most popular album, “A Nod is as Good as a Wink” .

Rock Hall Snubs: Peter Frampton “In the Studio” with Redbeard
Working without a net, unrehearsed and totally imprompt, surrounded by wall-to-wall fans crammed like sardines into a Dallas bar/restaurant in February 1994 for my Friday afternoon remote broadcast on Q-102 ,Peter Frampton obliged his loyal fans with the appropriate “All I Want to Be is By Your Side” which I first played back in 1972 on my first radio station in Findlay , Ohio .

Way way back to even the eponymous Humble Pie album in 1969 when barely out of his teens, I thought that Peter Frampton‘s lyrical, almost jazzy lead guitar figures set him apart from so many of his less imaginative peers, and it has been a pleasure to watch him refine his chops even while exploring new […]
