Compilation Album
A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one or several performers. If by one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set. If from several performers, there may be a theme, topic, time period, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album. When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.

Big Black Dog
"Big Black Dog" is a single released in 1970 by English rock band Humble Pie, one of the first British supergroups which formed in 1969. It was the band's first single for A&M Records and the follow-up single to " Natural Born Bugie" (1969). It was written by the band's guitarist, Peter Frampton. The B-side, "Strange Days" is credited to Steve Marriott and Humble Pie. It later appeared on the group's fourth album '' Rock On''.

Humble Pie (band) Albums
Humble Pie are an English rock band formed by guitarist and singer Steve Marriott in Moreton, Essex, in 1969. They are known as one of the first supergroups of the late 1960s and found success in the early 1970s with songs such as " Black Coffee", " 30 Days in the Hole", " I Don't Need No Doctor", " Hot 'n' Nasty" and " Natural Born Bugie". The original line-up featured lead vocalist and guitarist Steve Marriott from Small Faces, vocalist and guitarist Peter Frampton from the Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley and a 17-year-old drummer, Jerry Shirley, from the Apostolic Intervention. 1968: Background and formation Marriott befriended Frampton during the latter months of 1968 and the pair bonded over their unwanted 'teen heart-throb' status in the UK and their shared desire to be taken more seriously as musicians. Frampton was at something of a loose end professionally, having recently left the Herd. Marriott, acting as mentor to his younger new friend, agreed ...

Street Rats
''Street Rats'' was the eighth studio album by the English rock group Humble Pie, released in 1975. The album went to number 100 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart. Background ''Street Rats'' was created at the same time as Steve Marriott was producing a solo album, and a collaboration album with Greg Ridley. He was not keen on producing another Humble Pie album, and did not want to tour the U.S. again, as they had been touring solidly for the past four years. While on the road, everything they wanted was paid for, but once they got back to England, four years and 21 tours later there was no money in the bank. Understandably, they were loath to tour and promote another album. Marriott: "We'd been on tour for about four years, and we were just very tired". But A&M as well as manager Dee Anthony were able to insist that Humble Pie were contracted to do another tour, and to do so without another album would have been an unwise move by the band. In early 1975, the reco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thunderbox (album)
''Thunderbox'' is the seventh studio album by English hard rock group Humble Pie, released in 1974. It reached number 52 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart. The planned UK release was cancelled. Background Twelve songs appear, seven of them covers, including "Grooving With Jesus" originally released by The Violinaires; Ann Peebles song " I Can't Stand the Rain" once referred to by John Lennon as the perfect single; "Anna (Go to Him)" originally written and performed by Arthur Alexander and recorded by The Beatles on their first album; and "Oh La-De-Da" by The Staple Singers. The word ''Thunderbox'' is a seventeenth century slang word for the toilet, which gives an example of Humble Pie's sense of humour. The cover shows a keyhole through which a woman can be seen sitting on a toilet.

Eat It (Humble Pie Album)
''Eat It'' is the sixth album by English rock band Humble Pie, released in April 1973 through A&M Records. Released as a double album, it peaked at number 13 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, number 34 in the UK Albums Chart, and number 9 in Australia. Background Steve Marriott had been talking to the group about having backing singers from early on. During the recording of ''Eat It'', he had been in touch with Venetta Fields and asked her to find two other women to help her out. Fields chose Clydie King and Sherlie Matthews (both previously with Raeletts) to become the Blackberries and flew to London. When Marriott asked them to perform on tour with Humble Pie, Sherlie Matthews declined due to other commitments, including her two children and her husband. Matthews chose Billie Barnum to be missing member of the Blackberries. Each side of this double album is different: side 1 features Steve Marriott penned rock and roll; side 2 has classic R&B covers; side 3 is a collection o ...

Smokin' (Humble Pie Album)
''Smokin is the fifth studio album by English rock band Humble Pie, released in 1972 through A&M Records. It was the band's international breakthrough, peaking at number 6 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart, and hit number 20 in the UK and number 9 in Australia. Background The album was Humble Pie's first following the departure of guitarist Peter Frampton, which placed singer and co-founder Steve Marriott as the band's de facto leader. ''Smokin is the band's best-selling album, due in large part to the success of the single " 30 Days in the Hole". ''Smokin includes dramatically slowed down versions of Eddie Cochran's " C'mon Everybody", Junior Walker's "Road Runner", and the wah-wah laden slow blues "I Wonder". "You're So Good for Me", which begins as a delicate acoustic number, ultimately mutates into a full-bore gospel music rave-up, an element that would later influence bands like The Black Crowes.

Rock On (Humble Pie Album)
''Rock On'' is the fourth album by the English rock group Humble Pie, released in March 1971. It reached #118 on the ''Billboard'' 200. It is the last Humble Pie studio album to feature guitarist/singer Peter Frampton, who left the band towards the end of the year. Background ''Rock On'' saw Humble Pie establishing the heavy blues/rock sound they became famous for, led in no small part by their new manager, Dee Anthony, after the collapse of Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate Records. It was Frampton's favourite album with Humble Pie, but he was becoming unhappy with continuing in the band. In the latter part of the year, after their live album '' Performance Rockin' the Fillmore'' was mixed, and shortly before it was released, he left the band to pursue a solo career, and take his music in a more acoustic direction. Most of the songs on ''Rock On'' were performed live on tour before being recorded for the album. Singer and guitarist Steve Marriott turned the production into a ...

Humble Pie (album)
''Humble Pie'' is the third studio album by English rock group Humble Pie. Released in 1970, it was their first album with A&M Records. Background ''Humble Pie'' was a transitional album and a harbinger of the band's new, heavier direction. The material was darker than their previous two efforts, with striking contrasts in volume and style – Peter Frampton's gentle "Earth and Water Song" is buttressed between two of the heaviest tracks on the record, the band-composed [] "One Eyed Trouser Snake Rumba", and a cover of Willie Dixon's "I'm Ready". Drummer Jerry Shirley contributed a rare lead vocal on his song "Only a Roach", a country-twinged ode to cannabis (drug), cannabis that also appeared as the B-side of the summer 1970 single "Big Black Dog". This was their first release under the auspices of new American manager Dee Anthony – who had pushed for a louder, tighter sound both live and in the studio – and for their new label, A&M Records. At the end of 1969, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Town And Country (album)
''Town and Country'' is the second studio album by rock band Humble Pie, released in November 1969. It was released only in the UK. Background Conceived at band member Steve Marriott's 16th-century rural cottage "Arkesden" in Moreton, Essex, England, ''Town and Country'' offered a more pastoral approach than the more straightforward "heavy" progressive sound prevalent on their debut album, which had been released two months earlier. Like the band's early live shows, which opened with an acoustic set before returning with electric guitars in the second half of the show, ''Town and Country'' displayed a mix of acoustic ballads, country-rock, folk, blues, and hard rock. Unlike the debut LP, all four members of the band contributed solo compositions to the album. Peter Frampton played acoustic, Spanish, and lead guitars, and Marriott played guitar, sitar, percussion and keyboards, and bass guitar. Bassist Greg Ridley contributed guitar and tambourine, while Jerry Shirley handled ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
