Album Description
LEGENDARY ARTIST'S FIRST INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM FEATURES MEMBERS OF PEARL JAM, THE ROLLING STONES, AND THE SHADOWS, AS WELL AS WARREN HAYNES AND OTHERS. In a career full of accolades, Frampton is particularly proud of Fingerprints: "This has been the CD I've been waiting to make all my life. Every track has been a wonderful challenge, pushing me to raise my own bar again and again." With a stellar cast of players, Frampton traverses a diversity of material on Fingerprints, from American soul to Latin balladry and all-out rock tunes. To help bring his childhood musical dream to life, Frampton invited Rolling Stones Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman to play on "Cornerstones"; original Shadows members Hank Marvin and Brian Bennett to perform with him on "My Cup of Tea"; and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready and Matt Cameron join him for a cover of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and the original "Blowin' Smoke." Fingerprints also reveals Frampton's penchant for American roots music, especially on "Blooze," featuring Warren Haynes on slide guitar, and "Double Nickels" featuring Nashville virtuoso Paul Franklin on pedal steel. Frampton trades licks with British saxophone legend Courtney Pine on the blues rocker "Boot It Up." He and guitarist/co-producer Gordon Kennedy play harmonizing electric guitars on "Float," another album highlight. Another guitar virtuoso, John Jorgenson, joins Frampton on the Django Reinhardt-style "Souvenirs De Nos Phres." Fingerprints follows Frampton's critically acclaimed 2003 release, Now, which prompted The Washington Post to proclaim, "Frampton comes alive again." In another review, the BBC described Frampton's playing as "faultless throughout." The Associated Press said, "When it comes to fiery, guitar-drenched rock, Frampton delivers." The consistency of Frampton's playing was also affirmed when he earned a "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" Grammy nomination for Live in Detroit (2000). In 2001, Universal released the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the 1976 landmark Frampton Comes Alive, to much acclaim. The album remains one of the most successful live albums of all time and continues to influence generations of young artists.

 Thank you Peter October 22, 2008
After a long hiatus from listening to Frampton (like decades), I saw him in concert a couple months ago. The magic was there and it reminded me of just how many great tunes he'd created. He's truly a masterful guitarist. Anyway, it prompted me to update my old vinyl with some CDs and that's when I came across Fingerprints. I am completely blown away by it and I literally get the chills from some of the music. Its that good! Definitely some of the best music I've heard in years and possibly his best work to date. The range of styles and melodies on this album is amazing and really showcases his talent. Buy it! Enjoy! Its something you can listen to over and over. Thanks for bringing more musical joy into my life Peter.
 OK, But... October 6, 2008
All instrumental and I don't really need another "Jeff Beck album". Peter, please go back to being yourself, I miss you!
Awesome, incredible, guitar skills, great album!! Great musicianship October 4, 2008
Peter Frampton deserves a lot of credit for making this album.. This album got me into Frampton, I wasn't around during his 70's fame, but I saw he made a new album on TV, and when I purchased it, I thought it was awesome,, it doesn't even need any lyrics, the guitar speaks for itself, after this album, I got frampton comes alive as well, and that is great too, but this album is definitely chill, relaxing, blues-rock,, hell theres all type of genres in this one compact album, if anyone is a fan of just good guitar music than this album is great for you! ... "my cup of tea" and "float" are the most relaxing songs ever...This is frampton maturing, and just playing wonderful music that he loves, he doesnt need to show off to anyone, because he's a respectable musician and he clearly made this for other people who appreciate music as well..so Download or buy it!! you will not regret it if you appreciate good music !! Peter Frampton Please make more albums like this!! You Rock !
Frampton's best work to date September 30, 2008
Peter Frampton needs no introduction - "Frampton Comes Alive" remains one of the top selling double-live albums of all time.
However, "Fingerprints" may be Frampton's best work to date. It showcases what a talented musician he really is. No singing - just music spanning a wide variety of styles.
I've already listened to "Fingerprints" countless times, and am sure you will too.
Guitar playing doesn't get much better than Frampton! September 21, 2008
That being said..I would download Warren Haynes Blooze and Souvenirs de Nos Peres. I think that track with Warren is one of the best example of where the major pentatonic can take you. Amazing and haunting as it should be! Peter has Django's phrasing down and really captures the essence as well as anyone can of that genius. Sorry but for me I don't need another Jeff Beck. This guys got a great voice and can turn a good tale as well. Ask Jeff or Satriani to write a great lyric! There are so many shredders and "prog rockers". None of them could hold a candle to the package that is Peter Frampton and to me he has nothing to prove. Every cut on here is great and well crafted but they are vocal lines played through a rack. Come on Peter write the song and use your whit and great pipes accented with your brilliant guitar.
Why do really great guitarist turn to "the rack". That almost DI sound with Warren is so much better (compare to Warren who uses at most an overdrive pedal into a probably a old Fender Twin). Obviously an old Martin on the Django piece into a mike could not feel any more live and immediate. Peter is better than all that sound fluff in his rack. When you play live alone as he does, the multiple delays and chorus makes the sound fuller but it loses its edge and somehow immediacy. He needs to go to tone rehab and "clean up"(or at least get dirty without the rack!).
So for me these two cuts for 2 bucks.
By the way do see Peter live if you ever have the chance. Great showman and very entertaining not to mention a brilliant guitarist that has devoted his life to mainly that Gibson Les Paul of his. Plays until they throw him out normally. And you still want more.
