Peter Frampton has released his first new album in 16 years. Carry the Light was co-written with his son, Julian, and features an intriguing cast of guest musicians, including H.E.R., Tom Morello, and Sheryl Crow.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is continuing in spite of his inclusion body myositis (IBM) diagnosis in 2015. That’s seen him adapt his playing style to counter the generative disease’s effects, while (semi) recent live showings shredding the Beatles with Grace Bowers and Trey Anastasio, and soloing with Pearl Jam in Nashville, prove that the Les Paul-toting legend still has plenty of licks in him yet. Consequently, Carry the Light extends that sentiment, and Frampton hopes it can usher in a new era for him.
