(sutton, btw, is always worth catching.) did all his fretting with a slide and sang like he meant it. i was trying to picture him performing with a dildo, and getting hand jobs for jesus, and could not.Will Dividehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877416158115540051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-34794672918249831852009-06-14T23:07:10.800-04:002009-06-14T23:07:10.800-04:00Just a point here about white blues... those guys ...Just a point here about white blues... those guys in England hooked onto this music as kids growing up half-starved after the war and playing in actual ruins. They had a lot to sing the blues about and it's not surprising they related so strongly to the experiences blacks of an earlier generation and different place brought to their creations. I used to look down on white blues until I really checked out Peter Green's and John Mayall's stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-27667152509607951292009-06-13T23:19:51.748-04:002009-06-13T23:19:51.748-04:00Sorry but ya lost me with this one...oh, believe m...Sorry but ya lost me with this one...oh, believe me i own the records, but as Gene Casey put it, 'pimply young Brits imitating Negroes leave me cold'..<br /><br />I think I'll stand by that judgement..ana-bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918502866288050783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-39452077312249393572009-06-13T17:18:49.155-04:002009-06-13T17:18:49.155-04:00Christ, Jim!

A double fold cover with an awesome shot of PG and the boys on stage drenched in red stage lights. Obviously, this was not what she expected and I luckily snatched it from her. It is one of my all time favorites. When Green Manalishi was covered by Judas Priest, I informed my metal dorm mates that Peter Green would blow them and their Marshall stacks off the stage with two notes. Truely the unsung great of the sixties guitar gods. Thanks for the info on Jeremy. What a nut.

One of the first eve...Thanks so much for this post. One of the first ever LPs I had was the first Fleetwood Mac album. I also still have the "Albatross" single. I still remember playing the B-side "Jigsaw Puzzle Blues" and my dad saying "those guys can really play those guitars." <br /><br />Of all the 1960s blues-rock guitarists, Peter Green was my favourite. A guy who understood that "less means more." Check out his instro track "The Supernatural" on John Mayall's Bluesbreakers album "A Hard Road."<br /><br />And a soulful singer too. "Black Magic Woman", "Man of the World", "Oh Well" and "Green Manalishi" - a great songwriter whose lyrics came from the heart.<br /><br />I liked the Jeremy Spencer stuff at the time (especially "Shake Your Moneymaker") but it was only years later that I learned about and heard the Spencer-led Fleetwood Mac alter ego "Earl Vince and the Valiants." Anyone willing to put over a greased-up, drape-jacketed rock'n'roll performance to a "rawk" audience deserves sainthood.boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-21365820247646014342009-06-11T15:04:15.716-04:002009-06-11T15:04:15.716-04:00Thanks.
