Album Review

On this, their second album for A&M, Humble Pie proved that they were not the "minor league Rolling Stones" as people often described them. Led by the soulful Steve Marriot, the Pie was a great band in every sense of the word. Although Peter Frampton elevated himself to superstar status in just a few years, this album proves what an excellent lead guitarist he was. The record has an undeniable live feel to it, due in part to Glyn Johns' humble yet precise recording, framing the group as if they were a boogie version of the Band. When all of these elements come together on songs such as "Sour Grain" and "Stone Cold Fever," it's an unbeatable combination.

Customer Reviews

Most Complete American lp by the Pie

I love As Safe As Yesterday, the 1st release anywhere by Humble Pie. This lp is better than that one. Mostly due to the quality of the recording. Glyn Johns produced this lp, and he helped even out the bands tone. The songs on this album are also better than most of their other lp's. They rock, they play other styles, they even swing a little, and all with success. Most people would even recognize the first track, as it was an FM radio staple back in 1976, from a very famous live lp. This version has more class. Humble Pie Rocks On !

When Rock was Rock, some do it today, others don't

Black Crowes, American Minor, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Feet, and all the others owe this band BIG TIME. Humble Pie paved the way for the sound of sounds. I miss those Marshall amps, Gibson guitars and Steve's voice that could burn a hole through metal. So many forget how good Peter Frampton was on the guitar, especially on the live Rockin The Fillmore album.

Rock On!

Although this does have its weak points, its the harder songs that really make this album great. Those songs, Stone Cold Fever, Sour Grain, Rolling Stone and Shine On, stand out on this album, and are the highlights of Peter Framptons pre-solo career. Steve Marriott's voice is par excellence in Rolling Stone, Sour Grain and Strange Days. Overall, if you like any hard, blues or even acoustic rock, this is a great and precise album. Get It Now!
