[CRAZY-HORSE]

HUMBLE PIE "natural born bugle-the immediate anthology" 1999

career stats:
studio albums...11
live albums.......6
compilations.....13
singles.............15

hard rock/blues rock/southern rock band formed by Small Faces' Steve Marriott and The Herd's Peter Frampton in 1968.....
Marriott was offerd the job of vocalist for Led Zepplin by Page but turned it down because he would not be in charge or have a say under Page....
this compilation is basically their first two studio albums with the singles "B" sides,the singles that were stand alone singles and a few unreleseed tracks
that couldnt fit on to the albums....
lots of eclectic sounds here from Blues rock/hard rock,southern rock,folk,county,vaudevillian, even a couple of grunged up instrumentals....
this album was/is always going to get a love rating from me because im a huge fan of Marriott....
its pretty hard for me to pick a favourite track from these guys, so i'll just add a selection of several that i really love....
in mid 1990 it seemd that the band would reform as Marriott and Frampton started to write and record together again....
unfortunately several months later in 1991 Marriott(aged 44) fell asleep in bed whilst smoking and his house burnt down with him inside and taking his life at such a young age ending all hopes of a Humble Pie reunion....
some of those tracks they recorded can be found on Frampton's 1991 release "shine on:a collection"
Marriott was,IMHO, the greatest rock vocalist the UK ever produced and the Small Faces the best UK band of the 1960s....
anyway,

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
