Yes, Frampton is alive again. This time sans the vocals.
With the release of Fingerprints, Peter Frampton drives home a fact that in my opinion is somewhat overlooked. That point being he is one of the best guitarists rock music has ever seen. While I do stop short of saying he is the absolute best, I will say there are very, very few who are better.
Fingerprints is a perfect example of how a guitar can sound in the hands of a truly gifted virtuoso. Few guitarists could pull off an instrumental album the way Frampton has here.
I started listening to Peter Frampton in the mid seventies, and I must say he sounds as good today as he did way back then. If not better. The guitar playing here is simply outstanding.
I find it amazing that someone as gifted as Frampton could have such a relatively quiet career.
If you enjoy electric guitar at all get this CD. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3, Black Hole Sun, track 5 My Cup Of Tea, and track 10, Double Nickels.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7, Blooze with Warren Hayes. Wow! Good stuff.
