I know NOTHING about Humble Pie...I know I should...but there is just too much music out there to love...anyone care to give me a quick lesson and suggestions for an introduction?
It was a so called supergroup, formed by Steve Marriott who left Small Faces, he previously invited Peter Frampton to be a member of the Small Faces but the other members rejected the idea so he quit and formed Humple Pie with Peter who invited Jerry Shirley from "The Apostolic Intervention" and Steve also invited Greg Ridley from Spooky Tooth a great band back then
The above was in January 1969, later Brian Jones was about to start rehearsals in July but you know what happened
Songs to start
As Rooooostah mentioned "30 Days in the Hole",
"Rolling Stone" (Yes, the Muddy Waters song that some said it was the inspiration for the name of our band but it was the song Mannish Boy aka I'm a Man aka Hoochie Coochie Man instead)
Well... start with "Performance - Rocking the Fillmore" it rocks
Then Rock On, As Safe as Yesterday is, Smoking, Eat it, etc etc etc
