Supernatural

Performer: Peter Green (Rock)
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: Additional personnel: Dr. John, Otis Rush. This double-disc CD features 1960s-era live recordings of the guitarist and singer Peter Green's early performances with Fleetwood Mac, as well as his work with his later Splinter Group, which he formed upon his return from decades of relative inactivity. Early Fleetwood Mac hits such as "Green Manalishi," "Man of the World," and "Albatross" are featured, as well as later covers of such Robert Johnson-penned blues classics as "I'm a Steady Rollin' Man," "When You Got a Good Friend," and "Me and the Devil Blues." Green's soulful guitar work on the earlier recordings reminds us what was lost when he abandoned music in the early '70s, while his later, 1990s-vintage performances show a musician working his way back to something approaching his previous form.

Uncut (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is Green at his most quixotic, a stoned blues shaman disguised as a mediaeval busker..."

Although Fleetwood Mac is best known for the mellow rock of RUMORS and TUSK, the quintessential '70s L.A. band started out as a British blues-rock powerhouse led by guitar genius Peter Green. After a stint in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Green formed Fleetwood Mac with the sidemen of the title, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After a mere three albums of quintessential Brit blues, Green left to explore the darker regions of LSD culture. Though he returned to music in the '70s, and continued to record and tour sporadically into the '90s, it's been said by many that Green never really came back from those trips. Nonetheless, Peter Green is known to this day for having perhaps the most sweet and supple tone of any blues guitarist, British or otherwise.
