Win a Peter Frampton Autographed Guitar

Peter Frampton is having a phenomenal year here in 2026.

The guitar legend has an album on deck called Carry the Light, his first new record of original studio material in over 15 years. The set features guest appearances by friends and associates including Graham Nash, Sheryl Crow, Tom Morello, Benmont Tench and others.

Carry the Light arrives in stores May 15 and was produced by Frampton and his son and longtime collaborator, Julian. The guitarist was clearly enthused about how everything turned out when he spoke to UCR, including the album’s latest single, «Lions at the Gate,» which features Morello.

«It was the very first track that I recorded for this album, at least four or five years ago and it was just a trio of us,» he reflects. «I just had this riff, but I’d written it on a baritone guitar, so it was halfway between a bass and a guitar, you know — and I’d even tuned it further down, so it was even more halfway between a bass and a guitar.»

«And I just got inspired, because if you stick that through a dirty sounding big amp and maybe [add] a little bit of distortion on it, that thing sounds humongous,» he shares. «All of a sudden, you’re [Cream bassist] Jack Bruce, with the really distorted bass lines and everything. All of that inspired the riff where I began to write ‘Lions at the Gate.'»
