The album also included a cover of the Buddy Holly song " Heartbeat". Frampton's compositions "Take Me Back", "Only You Can See" and "Home and Away" (a nominal co-write with Marriott and Ridley) nod toward the direction he would take in his later solo career. Bassist Greg Ridley contributed guitar and tambourine, while Jerry Shirley handled his drum kit, a percussion saw on the first track, as well as tambourine, tablas, maracas, and Wurlitzer piano on his own composition "Cold Lady".Īmong the Marriott-composed tracks were his country-rock compositions "Every Mother's Son", " The Sad Bag Of Shakey Jake" and "Down Home Again". Peter Frampton played acoustic, Spanish, and lead guitars, and Marriott played guitar, sitar, percussion and keyboards, and bass guitar. Unlike the debut LP, all four members of the band contributed solo compositions to the album. Like the band's early live shows, which opened with an acoustic set before returning with electric guitars in the second half of the show, Town and Country displayed a mix of acoustic ballads, country-rock, folk, blues, and hard rock. It was released only in the UK.Ĭonceived at band member Steve Marriott's 16th-century rural cottage "Arkesden" in Moreton, Essex, England, Town and Country offered a more pastoral approach than the more straightforward "heavy" progressive sound prevalent on their debut album, which had been released two months earlier. Town and Country is the second studio album by rock band Humble Pie, released in November 1969.
