Recorded in a castle in England, Frampton is the breakout album where it all came together: Peter Frampton's penchant for writing catchy songs with irresistible hooks, superlative guitar playing, and soulful, evocative vocals. Frampton is also the album in which Peter introduced one of his signatures in the "talk box" for his guitar break on "Show Me the Way," which became iconic during the tour supporting this album and the live time capsule Frampton Comes Alive. In addition to "Show Me the Way," "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "(I'll Give You) Money" have dominated the airwaves and Frampton's live shows since this album's release in early 1975. Frampton is arguably the high-water mark of Frampton's early studio work and a showcase for an artist who had found himself as a singer/songwriter, and guitar player and was on the way to becoming a household name around the world.
