Me & The Devil

Performer: Various Artists/Peter Green
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: The 3-CD set ME & THE DEVIL contains THE ROBERT JOHNSON SONGBOOK (1998) and HOT FOOT POWDER (2000), both by Peter Green & The Splinter Group, and a disc of some of Robert Johnson's historic recordings from 1936-'37. Includes liner notes produced in conjunction with the Robert Johnson Estate. While it's no secret that guitar king Peter Green is obsessed with Robert Johnson, having done two previous recordings of his music, this box is in essence something else. There are three CDs included here, one of which is Hot Foot Powder, the first album by the Peter Green Splinter Group, which included guest performances from the likes of Otis Rush, Honeyboy Edwards, Dr. John, Hubert Sumlin, and Joe Louis Walker, among others. The second disc by the band, The Robert Johnson Songbook, featured mainly the Green band, though Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers guests on a tune. Fans already have these without a doubt, so Snapper Music -- with Green's blessing -- assembled a 28-cut collection of original Robert Johnson recordings chosen by Green. Adding them all together in a box with a handsome booklet for a decent price makes it all worthwhile. Fans may not want to purchase the same two records again, but getting the bonus third disc and the handsome package does have its allure. ~ Thom Jurek
