While he is no longer touring, Peter Frampton is still making music and the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is set to release a new album “Carry the Light” on May 15.
Co-written and produced with son Julian, it will be his first album filled with all new material in 16 years. Sheryl Crow, Bill Evans, H.E.R., Tom Morello, Graham Nash, and Benmont Tench all make guest appearances on the album.
Frampton spoke on the upcoming album saying, “the ‘Carry the Light’ album is the first new music from me in 16 years. It was one of my most enjoyable projects ever. I got to work with my son Julian-writing and producing together. A first of many for us I’m sure.”
Included on the album is “Buried Treasure” – a tribute to Tom Petty – whose lyrics are all Petty song titles.
“Carry the Light” will be available on CD, yellow vinyl, and as a digital download. A special limited edition album complete with decoupage turntable is also being offered.
