Biography
Moreton, Essex
The band initially consisted in 1969 of Steve Marriott (formerly of Small Faces; lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Peter Frampton (from The Herd; lead guitar), Greg Ridley (from Spooky Tooth; bass) and Jerry Shirley (from The Apostolic Intervention; drums).
The joining of all these fairly known players resulted in Humble Pie being considered a bit of a “supergroup”. Worried about great expectations, the group began working together in secret at Marriott’s cottage in Moreton, Essex. Signed to Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate Records, their debut single “Natural Born Boogie” was rushed out in 1969 and was a UK number five hit; it was quickly followed by the album As Safe As Yesterday Is, praised as a progressive album in the vein of Small Faces. Their second album Town And Country was also released in 1969 and featured a more acoustic sound. Humble Pie concerts at this time featured an acoustic set followed by an electric set, an approach that would become popular decades later.
1970 saw the financial collapse of Immediate, a switch to A&M Records, and a change in band management. The albums Humble Pie and Rock On, both released that year, alternated between progressive rock and boogie rock excess.

I find Humble Pie to be a lot funkier, and more rock n' roll than Zep who are more based on a Robert Johnson/Willie Dixon sorta influence. Zep wouldn't ever use backup female singers for instance, like Humble Pie does. That said, it's very easy to be a fan of both bands.

Actually they're quite similar sometimes. Not too much, but still. / My favorite thing from Humble Pie is epic version of Dr. John's "I Walk On Gilded Splinters". Amazing! I love it as much as Zeppelin's "Dazed & Confused" interpretation.

Steve Marriott must be one of the most talented musicians in rock history. Incredible composer, legendary performer.
