Background
Peter Frampton decided to remain with Humble Pie's U.S. label A&M, and assembled an impressive supporting cast including Ringo Starr,[4] Billy Preston, Spooky Tooth members Mick Jones and Mike Kellie, and former Herd member Andy Bown, for his first solo effort following his departure from Humble Pie in 1971.
The self-produced debut album was engineered by Chris Kimsey, who had worked on Humble Pie's Rock On. Frampton and Kimsey together introduced a melodic sensibility that contrasted with the raucous boogie that characterized the Humble Pie sound, with a particular emphasis on Frampton's acoustic guitar work.[citation needed] Kimsey continued to work with Frampton on the production of his albums throughout the 1970s.
Many of the songs on Wind of Change are built primarily around acoustic guitar foundations, but the inclusion of such songs as "It's a Plain Shame", and "All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side)" have a hard rock edge, as does an extended reworking of the Rolling Stones "Jumpin' Jack Flash", which was the project's only non-Frampton composition. The brass arrangements in this latter song and "The Lodger", performed by Jim Price, are strongly reminiscent of that in the Rolling Stones' song "Bitch", recorded the previous year, in which Price participated.[citation needed]
