Wind of Change is the debut studio album by English guitarist and singer Peter Frampton, released in 1972 by A&M.
The album features appearances by Ringo Starr, Billy Preston and Klaus Voormann.
Peter Frampton decided to remain with Humble Pie's U.S. label A&M, and assembled a supporting cast including Ringo Starr,[5] 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.
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.
