Advantages: Blues at it's best Disadvantages: None unless Blues isn't your music
Further to my review on FleetwoodMac's "Mr Wonderful" and its links with Gary Moore and his album "Blues for Greeny". I would like to introduce the album before "Mr Wonderful" which was called simply "FleetwoodMac", it is the famous dog in the alley with dustbins album.
I have the LP from years ago but have since bought the CD album which features more tracks than the original LP with different takes of "I loved another Woman" and "Cold Black Night" it also has two extra songs not on the original LP.
These are "You're So Evil" and "I'm Coming home to stay".
As stated in the "Mr Wonderful" review Gary Moore has covered tracks from this current album on his "Blues for Greeny" album, 5 more in total. As well as one from "Mr Wondeful".
All of these songs were recorded at various locations in 1967 on the equipment of the time ...
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 "FleetwoodMac" 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 ...
Advantages: A long awaited event in the rock firmament ? a new studio album by one of the mega-names of rock. They are now on tour ? coming to the UK in November Disadvantages: Good in part. It?s a marathon ? and feels like it by the end.
I guess that if you believe that the subject of my current jottings is an American group; that guitarist Lindsay Buckingham is female and lead singer Stevie Nicks is a bloke then I suppose this review will mean very little to you. FleetwoodMac has been there or thereabouts in the social fabric of my formative years since the late 1960s. My earliest recollections are of the instrumental ?Albatross? and ?The Green Manalishi?. Thirty five years later this huge, devotedly adored, supergroup with an even larger pantechnicon of interpersonal baggage have created a new album. Released in April 2003, this was their first studio album for fifteen years. I have waited for several months before committing my views to paper for a couple of reasons: firstly it is an album that takes more than a casual airing to appreciate and secondly the Mac are ...
