A showcase for Peter Frampton's growth as a songwriter and guitar player, Frampton's Camel is named after his touring band, honoring the groove this collective had reached in 1973. Prominently featuring Mick Gallagher's superlative keyboards, the hard-rocking hooks and catchy melodies here lay the foundation for the superstardom that would come just a couple albums and tours later with Frampton Comes Alive. Camel includes the smash hits "Lines On My Face," "Don't Fade Away" and a majestic cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall In Love With You It Will Be Forever)." Camel also introduced the world to the all-time classic rock anthem "Do You Feel Like We Do," with a songwriting credit to the entire band. This fan favorite has remained a highlight of Frampton's legendary live performances for decades.

The sound on this recording lays out the formula that Frampton would take to mega-success three years later with the release of Frampton Comes Alive … Frampton's use of dynamics and mix of acoustic and electric guitars keeps the music from becoming one-dimensional. - AllMusic
