Peter Frampton Already Prepping ‘The Best Studio Album’ He’s Ever Done

SHARE NOW

Peter Frampton is already looking past his upcoming instrumental covers set to his first new album of all original material in over a decade. Frampton has announced the April 23rd release of his latest instrumental collection, titled, Frampton Forgets The Words.

Frampton Forgets The Words features the Grammy Award-winning legend's new takes on Radiohead's "Reckoner," Lenny Kravitz' "Are You Gonna Go My Way?," George Harrison's "Isn't It A Pity," Roxy Music's "Avalon" and Jaco Pastorious' "Dreamland."

We caught up with Frampton, who's equally excited about that album's followup — his first all original album since 2010's critically acclaimed, Thank You Mr. Churchill: ["The next record after this one will be a solo record. The blues album — All Blues — and this one, Forgets The Words, is the Peter Frampton Band. Y'know, we all share in these two. I'll use my band on some of the solo stuff, but I wanna stretch out, just use some different players. The solo record, which will be next, it might be longer than we think, because it's got to be — it's going to be — the best solo album I've ever done — studio one."] SOUNDCUE (:28 OC: . . .done studio one)

Frampton revealed that in many ways, the album will be a call back to such legendary and beloved early-'70s sets as Wind Of Change, Frampton's Camel, Something's Happening, and Frampton: ["This one is really, really important because it's going to be back to, like, when I would do the first four solo records. There will be no co-writes. It's gonna be all me."] SOUNDCUE (:11 OC: . . . be all me)
