Thank You Mr Churchill Songs Ranked

Thank You Mr. Churchill is the fourteenth studio album from Peter Frampton, released through New Door Records in North America and through Eagle Rock in Europe. Since its release, the album has been met with mostly positive reviews from critics. William Clark of Guitar International wrote, “Without any exaggeration I can easily say that this mostly ignored album from 2010 contains some of the best music Peter Frampton has ever pushed out to date” Peter Frampton releases records so rarely that he’s almost forced to plainly admit their themes in the titles: 2003’s Now dealt with the present while its 2010 successor, Thank You Mr. Churchill, casts an eye toward the past, Frampton piecing together his history from WWII to modern times. Fittingly for a concept album so ambitious, Frampton has wound up with a heavy progressive rock record, roiling with dense riffs, segmented songs, and winding blues jams. Here are all of Thank You Mr Churchill songs ranked.

11. Black Ice

From the disc’s first (title) cut to the last, Black Ice, Frampton throws his guitar muscle and production prowess around to tremendous effect – his playing is articulate, the lyrics matter and his veteran back-up band gives proof upon proof why his live shows are still so critically well received today.”

10. I Want It Back

“I Want It Back will have the crowd on its feet and dancing in the aisles. All in all, a good album from a songwriter and musician who continues to dazzle with his masterful guitar work.”

9. Suite Liberte

“Suite Liberte is a seven and a half minute instrumental that beautifully showcases Frampton’s versatility on the guitar. Be prepared to hit the repeat button on this one.”

8. Vaudeville Nanna and the Banjolele

“The other favorite tune of mine on this disc is the sentimental Vaudeville Nanna And The Banjolele. I guess I love this song because, like I find myself doing a lot these days, Peter reflects on his childhood and his dreaming of getting his first guitar.”

7. Road to the Sun

“One of my two favorites cuts on this album is Road To The Sun. Not only is this a great, by the numbers rock tune with phenomenal guitar work, the vocalist is Peter’s son, Julian. The dude’s got some pipes that will, without a doubt, help catapult him into rock greatness in his own right if he plays his cards right.”

6. Thank You Mr. Churchill

“Like the majority of his fan base, I didn’t discover Frampton until cuts from Frampton Comes Alive dominated the airwaves after its release. And while that is THE best live album ever recorded, I must say that Peter has done nothing but push his axe skills to ever levels of excellence. Thank You Mr. Churchill proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt.”

5. Solution

“Musically, the tune is a great, pulsating rocker that serves up crisp and sizzling guitar solos that have got to part his audiences hair right down the middle when he performs it in concert.”

4. I’m Due a You

“Forget your pre-conceived notions about Peter Frampton’s long blond-haired live glory days from 1976. He is so much more than that as an artist and always has been and this albums just proves that.”

3. Asleep at the Wheel

“How many artists peak this late in life? An amazing album from beginning to end and possibly his best work yet. Son Julian is also amazing; I only wish father and son would now work together more often.”

2. Restraint

“Restraint,” is an acoustic based mid paced rocker. Invisible Man is a bit of a funky mover, reminds me of Steve Winwood, there I go again, keyboards, piano, with some nice tight guitar work. The album concludes with a mellow, acoustic/ Hank Marvin guitar ode, I take it to his wife.”

1. Invisible Man

“The delightful “Invisible Man” is a tribute to the glory days of Motown which even features members of the Funk Brothers, the jazz musicians Berry Gordy recruited to form Motown’s house band. His playing on acoustic and electric is excellent as always.”
