Watch Peter Frampton Discuss “Shadow Of My Mind”


The Cincinnati Ballet was the unlikely muse for Peter Frampton‘s latest work, Hummingbird In A Box. The songs on the album are crafted for dance, and were debuted as Frampton performed with the Ballet last year. “Writing for dance was a wonderfully freeing experience. There were no boundaries. We were able to push the composing envelope,” he said.

Frampton talks about “Shadow Of My Mind,” a warm-sounding tune with some seriously tasteful playing. It’s a bit of a day-in-the-life song for the virtuoso guitarist, who mentions visiting a variety of Nashville institutions. If you’re in the city, try not to look too surprised when you run into him buying coffee or getting some new jeans in the Gulch.
