This selftiteled album (also called the Beardsley album due to that the cover was made by Audrey Beardsley) was Humble Pie's 3rd. The band was formed from The Small Faces (Peter Frampton), The Herd (Steve Marriot) and Spooky Tooth (Greg Ridley) in 1969. They were popidols during the 60's and Marriot had also been a childactor. This album was the last with Framton, he quit in 1971. He later had a successful carrier as a soloartist. Marriot died in a fire in 1991 and Ridley died in Spain in 2003.

1)Live with me (10,0) Not many songs get full points from me but this one is one of the best songs I've heard. For an opening song on a rockalbum to be it's too long, too slow and not rocking enough, but what a song this is! The organ lays the ground and furious drumming, powerful and soulful vocals and exellent guitarplaying in a song that is full of life and power. Incredible!

2)Only a roach (3,0) A honky tonk-waltz? Why?

3)One eyed trouser snake rumba (7,5) A good and heavy boogierocker that is waaay to short (2.50).

4)Earth and water song (8,0) Wonderful song with great singing that is full of feeling (Frampton).

5)I'm ready (7,5) A re-writing of the Willie Dixon bluesclassic. A slow rocker with a heavy riff.

6)Theme from Skint (See you later liquidator) (5,0) A somewhat strange, calm song with a countryfeel to it.

7)Red light mama, red hot (8,5) A superb "red hot" heavy slow boogierocker. Remainds a lot of Frankie Miller. Astonishing last 2 minutes of the song.

8)Sucking on the sweet vine (7,5) A beautiful ballad ends the album.

Score: 7,13
