Celebrated English guitarist, singer and songwriter Peter Frampton joined host Kenneth Womack to talk about "being two musicians" and more on the latest episode of "Everything Fab Four," a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.
Frampton, known for his legendary 1976 double album "Frampton Comes Alive!" and hits such as "Baby, I Love Your Way," "Do You Feel Like I Do?" (the best song "written about a hangover," as he tells Womack) and "Show Me the Way," taught himself to play guitar at age seven. Being born a few years after the Beatles were, and yet a few years before the next wave of popular musicians, gave him an advantage in the "proving ground" of rock music that England had become at the time.
