Background
Frampton pursued a somewhat grittier sound on his second solo outing, 1973's Frampton's Camel, which was recorded in New York City at Jimi Hendrix's old Electric Lady Studios. Four years later, Frampton would record there again for his #2 hit album I'm in You.Frampton's original drummer Mike Kellie decided to leave the band because of differences with Frampton.
The album shared its name with the band Frampton assembled in 1972, which was actually more of a group project, including bassist Rick Wills, new drummer John Siomos, and keyboardist Mick Gallagher. In fact, early editions of the LP, 8-Track and Cassettes all listed and denoted the Album as "Frampton's Camel" by "Frampton's Camel."
