Humble Pie ‎– Rock On VG+/G (’71 UK Pressing)

Released in 1971, Humble Pie’s “Rock On” marked a turning point for the band. It’s the album where their sound truly solidified, a potent mix of bluesy grit and hard rock muscle. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton’s soaring guitar work, the album runs the gamut from electrifying blues workouts like “Rollin’ Stone” and “Stone Cold Fever” to the tender ballad “A Song for Jenny.” “Rock On” isn’t afraid to explore its playful side either, with boozy honky-tonk numbers like “Red Neck Jump” and “79th & Sunset” adding a touch of rowdy humor. Whether it’s laying down a deep groove or letting loose with a full-on rock assault, “Rock On” captures Humble Pie at their most potent and assured.
