Peter Frampton has unloaded a huge cache of tour dates running through the summer and deep into the fall as the veteran rocker continues to back his latest album, last year's "Fingerprints."
Frampton, who picked up a Grammy win for his 2006 album in February, will play tonight (7/2) in Verona, NY, the next stop on a seemingly endless tour that will take him to more than 50 cities and into the early days of November.
The outing includes several shows with The Doobie Brothers, kicking off with the first of four co-billed shows Aug. 16 in Atlanta, then resuming for six more in September. Frampton's complete tour schedule is included at the end of this article.
Released last September, "Fingerprints" is Frampton's first-ever all-instrumental album. "This is the CD I've been waiting to make all my life," the performer said in a press release. "Every track has been a wonderful challenge, pushing me to raise my own bar again and again."
Several big names make appearance on the disc, including Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts and former Stones bassist Bill Wyman on the original "Cornerstones," and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready and Matt Cameron on a cover of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun."
In April, two of Frampton's mid-period solo efforts--1979's "Where I Should Be" and 1981's "Breaking All the Rules"--were re-released in digitally remastered versions. Neither disc had previously been released on CD.
Frampton is best known for his 1976 live set, "Frampton Comes Alive!" The album--which featured the singles "Baby I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do"--rocketed to the top of the album chart, and is the top-selling live rock album ever.
