In a neat twist on our 13 favourite albums feature, Giant Sand's Howe Gelb talks Stewart Smith through his formative records from his teenage years in Pennsylvania
Humble Pie – Smokin'
I tripped over an album I used to play all the time by Humble Pie recently called Smokin'. [sings] "Thirty days in the hole..." Unbeknownst to me, Peter Frampton had left the band – I didn't even know he was in the band then – and it was Steve Marriot singing.
You know that whole movie Almost Famous is about Humble Pie, don't ya think? I think in the movie the singer was getting less attention that the guitar player, that might have been the whole Peter Frampton thing. So, Humble Pie, used to listen to that all the time.

Boy, Howe sounds like a barrel of laughs, doesn't he? The list might be good but it's hardly insightful stuff, is it?

In reply to Stavros P. Leibowitz:
...Or perhaps he prefers to keep his mouth shut when he has nothing to say, unlike most of the whimpering gobshites on here? Anyway, his anecdote about Bowie's space capsule is fab, & I'm going to track that Cactus LP down IMMEDIATELY on the basis on the hilarious sleeve... OK duck?

Now that's a goddamn list! Compare to the utterly lazy and inane offering from Butch Vig recently...
