"Humble Pie" introduces the trademark heavy, hard rock that was the group's
bread and butter. "As Safe as Yesterday" and "Town and Country", the predecessors,
were more eccentric and more acoustic.
The Pie continued their signature style of trading vocals--on this one, Marriott,
Frampton, and Ridley were even joined by drummer Shirley, who sings the hilarious
"Only A Roach."
This album opens with "Live With Me"( not the Rolling Stones tune--- this is a
loose jam about the same tempo as Neil Young's "Down By the River"). There are
a couple hard rockers ("Red Light Mama Red Hot" and "One-Eyed Trouser Snake Rhumba") that rumble along pretty well, especially "Red Light" with Greg Ridley's 'Peter Gunn' style bass line.
Humble Pie sounds extremely fresh on this album (who did the production?? The
liner notes don't say). A big plus is that neither Marriott or Frampton dominates
the sound, or gets out of control. A lot of bands featured a 'hard rock' writer, and a softer, 'sweet' writer--in the mode of Lennon and McCartney. With Humble Pie, the writers were usually Marriott (hard stuff) and Frampton (more melodic and gushy). "Earth and Water Song", Frampton's contribution here, is his quintessential song. It's kind of the template for everything of his that came after.
This was the best Pie album done in the studio. Some might argue for "Rock On",
but that album had some embarrassing moments--remember "Big George"? This one
is good all the way through.
1. Live With Me
2. Only a Roach
3. One Eyed Trouser-Snake Rhumba
4. Earth and Water Song
5. I'm Ready
6. Theme from Skint (See You Later Liquidator)
7. Red Light Mama, Red Hot!
8. Sucking on the Sweet Vine
