Humble Pie is the third studio album by English rock band Humble Pie. Released in 1970, it was their first album with A&M Records.
This was their first release under the auspices of new American manager Dee Anthony – who had pushed for a louder, tighter sound both live and in the studio – and for their new label, A&M Records. At the end of 1969, Humble Pie's old label, Immediate, owned by Andrew Loog Oldham, had gone bankrupt – a saga chronicled by Marriott on the satirical ballad "Theme from Skint (See You Later Liquidator)".
Humble Pie was a transitional album and a harbinger of the band's new, heavier direction. The material was darker than their previous two efforts, with striking contrasts in volume and style – Peter Frampton's gentle "Earth and Water Song" is buttressed between two of the heaviest tracks on the record, the band-composed "One Eyed Trouser Snake Rumba", and a cover of Willie Dixon's "I'm Ready". Drummer Jerry Shirley contributed a rare lead vocal on his song "Only a Roach", a country-twinged ode to cannabis that also appeared as the B-side of the summer 1970 single " Big Black Dog".
Humble Pie is often referred to by fans as the Beardsley Album as the main feature of the cover artwork is The Stomach Dance, a 1893–94 drawing by English illustrator-author Aubrey Beardsley, who is known for his Japanese woodblock influenced grotesque, decadent, and erotic illustrations. [1] The inside of the gate-fold album features the band. The back cover is the second version of the George Frederic Watts oil painting " Hope"; and, is the back photo on the Japanese remastered version of 2016.
