The legendary Peter Frampton has released his first all-instrumental album "Fingerprints." To celebrate, he and MusicRemedy would like to offer one lucky winner a copy of his album and a brand new, innovative Harman Kardon Soundsticks Multimedia Speaker System.
"This is the album I've been waiting my entire life to make," says Peter Frampton of his remarkable new CD, Fingerprints (A&M/New Door/UME). It's an impressive 14-tune collection of guitar mastery that crosses several musical borders, from funked-up r&b to razor-edged rockers to rootsy blues to country-flamed beauties to jazzy Django swing to reflective impressionism. And, on the disc, in what may come as a surprise to longtime fans, Frampton begs off singing to focus exclusively on the six-string.
"I've never done a complete collection of instrumentals," the Britain-born, Cincinnati-based Frampton says. "This is something I've been needing to do for myself for a long time. I wanted to play with people from all over the world, and I wanted to make the selections as diverse as possible. I didn't want to make a smooth jazz album where the rhythm section plays the same on every tune."
Fingerprints features Frampton having exhilarating musical conversations with a who's who of the pop world, including Rolling Stones Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready and Matt Cameron, original Shadows Hank Marvin and Brian Bennett, Allman Brothers/Gov't Mule slide slinger Warren Haynes, Nashville pedal steel virtuoso Paul Franklin and gypsy guitar maestro John Jorgenson. In addition, Frampton band mate, Gordon Kennedy, who co-wrote many of the originals as well as co-produces the album, is prominently featured as a guitar companion.
