Peter Frampton - Framptons Camel '1973; 2020

Tracks list

Named after Framptons touring band at the time, Framptons Camel has a
harder-rocking feel than its predecessor Wind of Change, with Mick Gallaghers
percussive electric piano and organ taking a prominent position in the mix and
Frampton getting a harder sound from his electric guitars (though his acoustic
playing is so lush and lyrical that it dominates the album here and there in its
quiet way). The sound on this recording lays out the formula that Frampton would
take to mega-success three years later with the release of Frampton Comes Alive.
The songs are all first-rate or close to it -- included here is the original
studio version of the group composition Do You Feel Like We Do, a quicker-tempo,
extended (albeit less majestic) version of which appeared on the latter album
and became a staple of classic-rock radio, but the Frampton-composed I Got My
Eyes on You and Dont Fade Away and the Frampton-Gallagher All Night Long are
also compelling examples of 70s hard rock at its commercial best. This album
also includes a nice cover of Stevie Wonders I Believe (When I Fall in Love With
You It Will Be Forever), the power ballad Lines on My Face, the rollicking White
Sugar, and Framptons gorgeously lyrical, all acoustic Just the Time of the Year.
As on Wind of Change, Framptons use of dynamics and mix of acoustic and electric
guitars keeps the music from becoming one-dimensional. The October 2000 CD
reissue, remastered in state-of-the-art sound, adds an even more expansive feel
to this album and enhances its melodic richness.
