I made a Spotfiy Playlist of ten Hammond Organ tracks based on this article.
See this article with a longer list of Organ-rich albums.
Also this, the third, in a series of YouTube compilations of 28 organ solos!
The reason for the Frampton Comes Alive! image is that I suggested it for the Facebook meme on album-cover art. I couldn’t find the full gatefold image online so I had to take my own.
And, then, some weeks later Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” included a track from
Peter Frampton – Acoustic Classics, 2016 – stripped down versions, and he is touring.
There is a cool interview with Pater Frampton here.
Wishing you more musical adventures in 2017…
