Further to my review on Fleetwood Mac'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 "Fleetwood Mac", 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, so even with cleaning up of the tracks which I assume would have been done, this album shows what a class act the original Fleetwood Mac were and why Gary Moore chose to honour a guitar great on his album.
The album tracks are as follows:-
1. My Heart Beat Like A Hammer (take 2) - Jeremy Spencer plays slide guitar and harmonica on this rocking number, in the Elmore James style, with the full band.
2. Merry Go Round (take 2) - Peter plays and sings an excellent slow blues with John McVie on Bass & Mick Fleetwod on Drums, in my opinion one of the best slow blues songs ever.
3. Long Grey Mare - This music is the Blues so you can interpret the words of this song in any way you wish, it has Peter on Guitar, vocal and harmonica with Bob Brunning playing the Bass and Mick. This has a very heavy bass line.
4. Hellhound On My Trail (take 1) - Jeremy plays sings a solo piece, very nice rendition of this piece.
5.: Shake Your Moneymaker - Again interpret the song any way you wish, Jeremy on slide and vocals, Peter on Guitar with the rest of the band.
6. Looking For Somebody - This is a slow haunting song with Peter on Guitar, vocals and harmonica also John and Mick.
7. No Place To Go - This song is in the style of the old Bluesmen and has slow deliberate playing with Peter on Guitar, vocals and harmonica also John and Mick.
8. My Baby's Good To Me - Jeremy on slide again playing a more of a lead guitar role with vocals also bringing in his slide chords, with Peter, John and Mick.
9. I Loved Another Woman - This is a beautiful song with Peter on Guitar and vocals, John and Mick. This one was the one I saw Gary Moore play at the MEN in Manchester.
10. Cold Black Night - Jeremy on slide and vocals, showcasing yet a different style of playing, with the rest of the band.
11. World Keeps On Turning - This is Peter on Guitar and vocals playing acoustically and in my opinion shows how good a guitarist he really is.
12. Got To Move - Jeremy on slide and vocals playing the guitar in yet another style with the rest of the band. A very good track on which to finish the original album with all four members of the band playing.
13. My Heart Beat Like A Hammer (take 1/bonus track) - As track 1
14. Merry Go Round (take 1/bonus track) - As track 2
15. I Loved Another Woman (takes 1-4/bonus track) - As track 9
16. I Loved Another Woman (takes 5-6/bonus track) - As track 9
17. Cold Black Night (takes 1-6/bonus track) - As track 10
18. You're So Evil (bonus track) - I think this is similar to "Hellhound on my Trail" but with different words but still is a good track. Jeremy on piano and vocals singing about a girlfriend?
19. I'm Coming Home To Stay (bonus track) - Jeremy on slide and vocals with the rest of the band finishing this particular album in typical Elmore James style.
There are extensive sleeve notes by Mike Vernon who produced the album.
This album is a good introduction into the Blues in our country, by the pioneers of the time.
Thanks for reading this and I hope a few of you will investigate Fleetwood Mac, who are I believe, at their best, before their single Albatross.
However, Albatross was the first single I bought of Fleetwood Mac for the excellent guitar work.
Advantages: Unique flawless, timeless sounds. Disadvantages: A couple of weak tracks
Way way back in the heady days of the 1960?s there emerged a band; yes a band that could play their own instruments. Not a band as it is understood today, in other words a line up of four who sing! Or so the rumour goes.
Anyway I digress, a blues band was born, a band that has as many changes as a chameleon. A band that stops recording and then returns as strong as ever to confound and excite people. The band, oh yes FleetwoodMac.
Be aware that there are two versions of this album on sale today, the English version comprising one CD and the U.S Import comprising two CD?s. If you prefer the Mac of the 60?s then go for the English variant, or if like me you love the Classic FleetwoodMac comprising Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie and the totally gorgeous Stevie Nicks then the US offering is for you ...
Advantages: Classic early Fleetwood Mac and Peter Green, earthy blues Disadvantages: Dated for some.
FleetwoodMac were originally formed in 1967 by Peter Green, when he left John Mayall's Blues Breakers. The blues breakers have had many fine musicians over the years, including a young Eric Clapton. FleetwoodMac released their first album, simply called FleetwoodMac, early in 1968 and their second album, Mr Wonderful, later that same year. Both had a raw, earthy, blues feel to them however Mr Wonderful was I suppose a little more professional. I guess they had learned a thing or two by then.
Peter Green ultimately lost his way a little and spent many years away from the music scene trying to put his life back together, after drugs had took their toll. We saw him, and his current band, a couple of years ago and although he had obviously aged and changed somewhat, some of the magic was still there. Peter Green I think would have ...
