Peter Frampton-Frampton Forgets The Words (2021)

With his eighteenth album, the legendary Peter Frampton paid tribute to some of his favorite artists by releasing a completely instrumental covers album. Ten tracks in which the multifaceted guitarist even ventures into contemporary artists like Alison Krauss and Lenny Kravitz, as well as soul and funk classics such as Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder, and rock icons like Roxy Music, David Bowie, and George Harrison. Alongside bassist Glenn Worf, rhythm guitarist Adam Lester, percussionist Dan Wojciechowski, and keyboardist Rob Arthur, Peter Frampton explores unexpected sonic territories, shining in each one and contributing his unique and personal touch on the six strings. From refined versions like "Avalon", to the atmospheric sounds of "Loving The Alien", the jazzy fusion tone of "If You Want Me To Stay", the intense melody of "Reckoner", charming ballads like "Maybe" or the furious rock of "Are You Gonna Go My Way", Peter Frampton makes clear his wit and talent with the guitar.
