We are very excited today because we're fortunate enough to have the legendary rocker Peter Frampton joining us for a Special Live Chat so he can discuss his brand new single "Road To The Sun," from his album entitled Thank You Mr Churchill.

“This album is very autobiographical. It starts with my birth, in which I thank Mr. Churchill for bringing my father back from the Second World War,” says Frampton of his new set. “I woke up one morning and I wondered what would have happened if Winston Churchill hadn’t been at the helm and the British and the Allies had not won. Would my dad have not come back? Would I be here? Probably not.”

What makes this new single even more unique is that his son Julian co-wrote the song and accompanies his father with some fine vocals. And it's no surprise that Julian is musically gifted as well.

Mr Churchill also features Frampton’s first recorded collaboration with his son Julian. Frampton says, “Julian started off playing drums. Then one day he played me a song on guitar and he blew me away. He’s now 21 and over the past few years, he’s become a terrific writer. He’s an amazing lyricist, great singer, and a wonderful guitarist. He inspires me. “We’d always wanted to write something together that he could sing and we could put on an album. So we wrote two songs and it was one of the best experiences of my life. “Chris [Kimsey] heard the demo of ‘Road to the Sun’ with Julian singing and said, ‘Who’s that?’ I told him, ‘That’s my son, Julian.’ He said, ‘He’s gotta be on the album.’ Julian’s vocal is the live vocal, it’s take one.

Logan Murphy writes:

This past January, we did a post about Peter's battles with some rather unsavory folks on his Facebook page and many C&Lers came to his rescue. Since that time, the brave Mr. Frampton has been out on tour in support of his new album and I am thrilled that he is here giving us some of his precious time to chat. Thank you and welcome, Peter!

The video on today's post is entitled "Invisible Man" from Thank You Mr Churchill and features the incredible Funk Brothers. The video for "Road to the Sun" is premiering online very soon.

So without further ado, I'd like to welcome Peter and Julian to the Crooks & Liars and the pages of our Late Nite Music Club. Please join us for a special live chat.

Has everyone had an opportunity to enjoy Pandora Internet Radio? I am a crazy addict to it, and listen to my channels continually. It's even an app on my cell phone, so I can listen when I'm out and about.

One of the best parts of Pandora is the suggesting of artists that you might not have heard before whom the programmers at Pandora think you might appreciate due to your taste in music. Emiliana Torrini is one such artist. Because she comes up fairly regularly on three of my programmed channels (Jason Mraz, Feist, and Madeleine Peyroux), I've become a new fan. It doesn't always happen, though. John Mayer shows up all the time on other channels. I've still not a fan.

It's been a while since we've done any lists, so I'm putting it out to you: pretend you're one of the whizzes at Pandora. Pick an artist as the basis for your favorite kind of music and then suggest to other LNMCers some other artists that may not heard of that fall into the same kind of category.

Karen Elson is famous as a supermodel and for being married to Jack White, but she is also a force to be reckoned with as a musical artist. Her debut record, The Ghost Who Walks, was released this week and is a beautifully haunting collection of love and betrayal. White's production is timeless and these songs are great for late night listening.

I love the album For Certain Because by The Hollies, and the title track has been a favorite in the Reynolds' household lately. If I had to pick a favorite song written in New York about an exotic dancer, this would be it. Here's a nice live version.

This has always been on of my favorite REM songs. It is considered by Michael Stipe to be the 'big moment' on 1988's Green, and the lyrics were the first to be printed on a REM album sleeve. Stipe; "It's a tribute to Leonard Cohen, using military terms to describe a battle within. I was so proud of my lyrics and my vocal take that I refused to sing it a second time. I did it once. That was it."

I've always wanted to be able to sit down at the piano and rock this Skip James song out. Wishful thinking...

Billy Preston is best known as the "Fifth Beatle" for his keyboard work with the Fab Four on the Abbey Road sessions. His resume also included the Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many more heavy hitters across various genres. Tonight's selection is off of his 1971 record, I Wrote A Simple Song. Thanks to my buddy Keith for reminding me of this.

A reminder that our sister site Newstalgia has for its weekend concert, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from 1987. Enjoy!

Here's one of my favorites off of Spoon's stellar Gimme Fiction.

Black Sabbath never seems to get enough credit for their musicianship, especially the rhythm section of Bill Ward and Geezer Butler. I've always felt that what set them apart is their flirtation with jazz, as evidenced in Bill Ward's playfulness with time. Anyway, they flat out rock too, so here's the Hand Of Doom off of 1970's Paranoid.

For anti-road-rage Wednesday, our sister site Newstalgia offers up its Mid-Week Concert - Orquesta Sinfonica de la Region de Murcia play music of de Lara, Poulenc and Tchaikovsky

I first noticed this song when I saw Wes Anderson's Rushmore for the first time, and have been a fan of The Creation ever since. Ronnie Wood was a member for a brief time and the great Shel Talmy produced their early work. Guitarist Eddie Phillips once described their sound as "Our music is red – with purple flashes."
