Humble Pie - The Atlanta Years '2020

Tracks list

It would probably have been more fitting to credit 2005s The Atlanta Years
solely to Steve Marriott, as hes the only recognizable name from Humble Pie
here. The story goes something like this -- circa 1982 and 1983 (immediately
after a briefly reunited Humble Pie called it quits once again), Marriott
regularly gigged and recorded in the Atlanta area. And despite the fact that
Marriott did play other places during this time, its referred to as his Atlanta
Years, which this 17-track release focuses on. With countless veteran rockers
trading in their blues-rock and blue jeans for synths and headbands during this
era, Marriott admirably sticks to his stylistic guns here, as evidenced by such
bluesy, funky, and soulful tracks as Heartbreaker, Trouble You Dont Fool Me, and
I Need More. Also rounding out the set are live renditions of several Humble Pie
classics, including elongated versions of Thirty Days in the Hole and I Dont
Need No Doctor, as well as a 20-minute phone interview with one of Marriotts
former wives. While The Atlanta Years is certainly not a wise starting point to
discover the great Humble Pie (search out one of their many comps of early-70s
material), it does serve as a taster of what one of rocks most underrated
vocalists was up to during the early 80s.
