Town & Country - Stylish and Comfortable Apparel for Urban and Rural Lifestyles | Perfect for Work, Travel & Outdoor Adventures

"Town and Country" is Humble Pie's second album. You'll hear less 'heavy' rock on this album, but that's not a bad thing when it comes to this band. It really is the 'sister' album to "As Safe As Yesterday Is" and compliments that first album so well. Brilliant musicians/songwriters/singers that these guys were, they merely continued with the more 'country' and 'folk' oriented music that they occasionally performed on their first album. They are still searching for and working on forming a cohesive, collective identity here. Town and Country is a bridge to their third, self-titled effort "Humble Pie" [1970]. It's a pleasure to hear the tight rhythm section backing the excellent guitar playing and singing of Marriott and Frampton. This record is a necessity for all fans of Humble Pie. It serves as a great document showing how the entire band was only getting better with each effort. Town and Country is waiting to join your Humble Pie collection! Get it now... you won't be disappointed.This is a review of the 2008 pressing by Snapper Music/Charly Studio. The package is a standard jewel case, not a digipack as advertised. Extensive liner notes and pictures are included and it's a nice addition to have the cover of the album actually printed on the CD!Also, contrary to what some have written, the "bonus tracks" included here are ONLY 6 of 10 tracks taken from "As Safe As Yesterday Is". The missing tracks are 'Growing Closer', 'I'll Go Alone', 'A Nifty Little Number Like You', and 'What You Will'. You are missing almost half of the original album here... This is not a "two-fer" compilation. The last two "bonus tracks" on this pressing, "Natural Born Bugie" and "Wrist Job" were the A and B sides respectively of the single released prior to Humble Pie releasing "As Safe As Yesterday Is". Those two tracks can truly be called a "bonus". In other words, you DEFINITELY need to purchase an actual copy of "As Safe As Yesterday Is" or you'll be missing out on 4 great tracks to round out your collection!! You'd also be missing 4 slices of Humble Pie's great, recorded history that has been left for us to appreciate. Don't let it happen to you!! Peace.
