Now

"Now" is the tenth studio album by British musician Peter Frampton, released in the year 2003. After a gap of nine years since his previous work, Frampton sought to craft a more traditional rock album reflecting his growth and maturity as a musician and prioritizing the music over commercial success. The album was positively perceived by critics as a showcase of Frampton's musicianship and craftsmanship.

The album's unique sound revolves around rock, incorporating elements of pop and blues. Frampton is not only the vocal powerhouse of the album, but also played most of the guitars and keyboards. The album includes eleven tracks with the standout song being a cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

The album's creation was a personal journey for Frampton, as it was a project he undertook after a period of personal hardship. Frampton's father passed away during this time, which significantly influenced the feel and lyrics of the album. This led to a piece of work that shows Frampton's resilience and ability to channel his personal experiences into his music, providing raw emotion and authenticity.

Despite it not being a commercial success in terms of chart positioning, this album is regarded as a significant instalment in Frampton's discography due to its introspective nature and its demonstration of Frampton's continuous musical evolution.
