Frampton's Camel is the second studio album by English musician and songwriter Peter Frampton, recorded and released in 1973. It was the first album that Frampton recorded in the United States. Most of the album was written in New York City. It reached #110 on the US Billboard 200 Album Chart.

Background

Frampton pursued a grittier sound on this record. It was recorded at Jimi Hendrix's old Electric Lady Studios. Four years later, Frampton would record there again for I'm in You.

The album shared its name with the band Frampton assembled in 1972, which was more of a group project, including bassist Rick Wills, new drummer John Siomos, and keyboardist Mick Gallagher. In fact, early editions of the LP, eight-track and cassettes all listed and denoted the album as "Frampton's Camel" by "Frampton's Camel".
