Blue Guitar - Peter Green

Advantages: Music to relax to and be inspired by.
Disadvantages: Track 7 is not his best

...Peter Green is regarded a one of the finest blues musicians of not only his generation, but maybe of generations to come. Although not as commercially well know as maybe Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix (except maybe for his early work as guitarist with Fleetwood Mac), Peter Green's musical legacy has, and will continue to inspire both musicians and listeners alike who truly have the blues in their bloodstream. GREEN & GUITAR -The Best Of Peter Green 1977-81 captures just a small part of the man's obvious talent, and if your unfamiliar with his work, this collection makes you want to go and find out more. There is nothing mad or offensive to the ear on this recording. His guitar style is relaxed and soothing, much like his vocals. For fans of Clapton, Santana, JJ Cale or even Chris Rea who don't have Peter Green in their cd collection... Read review

Merry Go Round From the album "Fleetwood Mac" one of my favourite Peter Green songs it is slow and the guitar playing iis perfect in my... Read review

Advantages: You hear one of the best British Blues Bands
Disadvantages: None

...If you like "Blues for Greeny" by Gary Moore then listen to the subject "Peter Green" playing the original music, although this album just features the title track "If You Be Me Baby". Others can be found on "Fleetwood Mac" the bands first album (The one with the Dog and Dustbin in an alleyway) It is possible that Peter Green is using the same guitar on "Mr Wonderful" that Gary Moore used on "Blues for Greeny" as Peter gave or sold it to him "Mr Wonderful" is the first album I bought, it sold me on the Blues. I have this album on vinyl so it is up in my loft at the moment as many good albums are. The track listing on the album you can buy nearly 40 years later are:- 1. Stop Messin' Round (Take 4) - probably one of the first blues songs I ever heard, excellent guitar work, Peter on vocals with some good... Read review
