Music on CD

'Number Of The Brave' is their 11th studio album. After Martin Turner (bass, vocals, production) left in 1980, he was briefly replaced in 1981 by the incomparable John Wetton (bass, vocals) from King Crimson. Also featured on the album is backing vocalist Claire Hamill, who would permanently join Wishbone Ash on their 1981 tour. From the first moment with opener "Loaded" it was evident that the band's line-up change hadn't caused them to lose a step. In fact, Wetton's vocals actually were in some ways superior to Turner's and added another dimension to the arrangements. Songs like "Underground", "Kicks On The Street", "Where Is The Love" and the beautiful rocker "Rainstorm" were absolutely top-notch.

'I'm In You' is Peter Frampton's fifth studio album, released in 1977. Frampton proves he can groove to funk rhythms like the best with the slow burner, "Won't You Be My Friend", which gradually builds up to become one of the essential moments in the album. The high points also include the title track, "Don't Have To Worry," and a killer cover of Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed and Delivered (I'm Yours)", a couple of solid rock numbers, "Tried To Love" and the crunching "(I'm A) Roadrunner". All in all, this is one of Frampton's last inspired breaths of fresh air. With guests Stevie Wonder playing a great harmonica part on "Rocky's Hot Club" with Mick Jagger in the back-up chorus.
