Customer Reviews of Town & Country
WHAT, NO REVIEWS OF THIS FINE RECORD?? Browsing through your reviews, the Humble Pie catalog seems particularly beset by "star inflation". Five stars come cheap these days. So "only" four stars may seem verging on the mediocre to some of your reviewers. Not so, I just reserve five stars for really outstanding records.
Not quite outstanding, but this is a fine record, as good as anything in the Humble Pie catalog. This was one of their two early records (1969) with the original lineup, including Peter Frampton. Overall, this is probably the Pie's quietest record, with a definite bent toward acoustic numbers. Frampton's songs hint at his early solo work to come (Take Me Back and Only You Can Say stand out). Marriott quits screaming for long enough to contribute some fine numbers (Every Mother's Son and Silver Tongue especially). Nice cover of a Buddy Holly forgotten chestnut (Heartbeat). The album ends with a flourish, Home And Away, co-written by Frampton, Marriott, and bassist Greg Ridley. One wishes Frampton and Marriott had truly collaborated more after hearing this. Alas, only a couple of more albums remained before they splintered, and Humble Pie as never the same (sorry all you Smokin' fans).
This disc will probably not change your life. But it's historically important if you like Frampton, Marriott, or the later Pie. And it stands up quite well on its own merit. This is not quite as good as Rock On, but it's close.
