Grammy Award winner Peter Frampton remains one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was the lead singer and guitarist for British band The Herd.

At 18, he co-founded one of the first supergroups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle, and many others. His fifth solo album, the electrifying “Frampton Comes Alive!,” is one of the top-selling live records of all time.

Frampton’s latest album, “Acoustic Classics,” brings us stripped-down versions of his hits, including “Baby, I Love Your Way,” “Lines on My Face,” “Do You Feel Like I Do,” “Show Me the Way,” and more. “Acoustic Classics” includes one new song, “All Down to Me,” which was co-written by Gordon Kennedy. “All Down to Me” is the only track on the record featuring a guest musician.
