Product Description

Description
A fascinating detour in Humble Pie's recording career, second album TOWN & COUNTRY resembles neither the mod-influencedsounds of its predecessor nor the hard-driving blues-rock that would subsequently make the band famous. Rather, it's a low-key, acoustic-oriented affair. That's not to say it's analbum full of folkie ballads--most of the tracks still movealong at a rocking clip--just that the dynamics and the tone are decidedly more on the quiet side. Where later Humble Pie rocked out la the Faces, TOWN & COUNTRY is more like Faces bassman Ronnie Lane's later Slim Chance band. There's evena sitar-laden psych-pop track ("The Light of Love") just sowe don't forget that this was 1969.

4.0 out of 5 stars Of its time but contains a diamond, 2 Jun 2004
By S. J. Smith "Simon de Region 2" (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Most of this sounds like an album from 1969. Which it is. But this is pretty much the work of a supergroup too.

It is worth buying for the track "Every Mother's Son" alone, a sort of countrified Dylanesque song, but much more than that. It is lovely. A rambling acoustic tale of a guitar player who leaves a girl in a smalltown, goes from rags to riches and returns years later to find her still waiting. But it is more than a great tune. The whole song is punctuated with some fantastic acoustic lead guitar playing by Peter Frampton. Classic.
