3.0 out of 5 stars Not Really Humble Pie, But Not Bad....., May 23, 2007

First off, Humble Pie WAS Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton, not Bobby Tench and this journeyman-for-hire guitar player. That is not to denigrate the contributions of Greg Ridley and Jerry Shirley. They were an integral part of what made Humble Pie unique and great. That being said, this is a damn fine album!!! Good tunes and tight, rockin' playing! If you had never heard the original band you would enjoy this disc immensely. This may have been made to help out Mr. Ridley, whose health was in serious decline when this was recorded. You could do worse!!! Although I don't play this as much as say,Town and Country or Performance, I do pull it off the shelf on occasion and crank it up and have a rockin' good time!! Recommended.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Humble Pie - 'Back On Track' (Sanctuary), January 22, 2005

When I first heard some cuts off this CD,I made SURE it wasn't maybe some obscure little-known Pie lp reissue that I've never heard.It's that good.Well,without the late Steve Marriott anyway.This ten-track disc more or less threw me for somewhat of a loop.Old time members bassist Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley is joined with new recruits guitarist Bobby Tench and vocalist Dave Colwell.Tunes that make this CD worth your time are the catchy "Dignified",the somewhat funky "Ain't No Big Thing","All I Ever Needed" and "This Time".I saw Humble Pie awhile back when they toured with Mahogany Rush and the late '70's glam idols Angel.Anyone else remember that?I recall their set lasting just thirty minutes in which they played like actually four,maybe five songs.Marriott kept going on about his two good-for-nothing ex-wives and spitting on the crowd.Yes,a good time was had by all.A sad footnote:sometime after the making of this disc,bassist Greg Ridley had passed away.One can never tell,for drummer Jerry Shirley just might decide to continue on.I've seen few other bands do it.
