From The Record Crate: Humble Pie – ‘Smokin’’ (1972)
0Shares
One of the early so-called “supergroups” of the late ‘60s, Humble Pie formed in 1969 and released
Smokin’ in 1972 – the band’s fifth studio album, as well as Humble Pie’s highest-charting album.
Coming out of the starting gate in 1969, Humble Pie was made up of Steve Marriott (guitar, vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Jerry Shirley (drums) Greg Ridley (bass), and Peter Frampton (guitar, vocals, keyboards).

Humble Pie’s advent was the result of Marriott’s friendship with Peter Frampton, who had left The Herd and was looking for a new gig. Marriott, the guitarist for the Small Faces, wanted to bring Frampton into the Small Faces, but both bassist Ronnie Lane and keyboardist Ian McLagan dissented. For whatever reason, they didn’t want Frampton in Small Faces.
