“It won’t be a static playlist,” Frampton promises. He’s been soliciting requests from fans - at least one of whom has called for the title track from Humble Pie’s first album, As Safe As Yesterday Is, which is only adding to the roster of potential material for the shows. I’m not going to stop playing until I absolutely have to, and I’ve got so many ideas.”įrampton also has plenty of plans for the farewell tour, which kicks off June 18 in Oklahoma. I want to get as much recorded and play as much as I can until I can’t. “I’ve never recorded this much in my life, but I’m at the top of my game still and enjoying the playing immensely. “I want to go out playing really well,” explains Frampton, who had to pull the plug on a planned co-headlining trek with Alice Cooper this summer because he felt it was the right time for his farewell tour. I’ve really been heavily getting into some lyrical content recently, which is good for me.” Frampton predicts more original material will come, too, as his recently started work on a memoir “is actually doing wonders for lyrics as well. He reckons he has three albums done already “and we’re working on a fourth right now, and after that I think it’s time for a Christmas album!” There will be a set of original songs as well as an instrumental covers collection and another blues album since the All Blues sessions yielded 23 tracks over a 10-day period. “We must have done nearly 40, 45 tracks, and we’re still going,” reports Frampton, who was diagnosed with IBM some years ago but only made it public this year. “The Thrill is Gone” is one of 10 blues covers on All Blues, which comes out June 7 - and will be the first in a series of albums Frampton and his band have been making since October.
