Peter Green- SUPERNATURAL- 2CD- 2007- Snapper Music- 636551294928- 500 grn
A 2CD career retrospective of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and his Splinter Group. Album set compiling 10 classic recordings from the infamous Boston Tea Party of February 1970 [featured on CD 1] covering the whole of his time with Fleetwood Mac from 'Black Magic Woman' to 'Green Manalishi' via 'Albatross' & 'Oh Well' capturing a band playing at the absolute peak of its powers plus 15 tracks comprising the best material from the five Splinter Group albums providing the perfect re-introduction to the man who has inspired a generation of guitarists and blues lovers alike. Instead of being metallic, this has music-historical relevance. PETER GREEN, who has been plagued by psychological problems time and again over the years, is one of the initiators of blues rock and has not only written classics and interpreted standards with Fleetwood Mac. This double CD with a detailed booklet offers a retrospective of his work. The first disc contains a lot of live stuff from Mac, who celebrated a very relaxed blues on these recordings in the seventies, but were also able to lay down an almost half-hour "Rattlesnake Shake". The sound is puristic, the singing not always stable, but the choice has the required authenticity. The second face Green has developed over the years is reflected in the Splinter Group and solo tracks that populate the second record. They are much smoother staged and some already offer mainstream entertainment - for example the soul blues of "Heart Of Stone", the "Chicago Blues" which speaks for his direction as well as quite a few commercial country elements with harmonica. The presentation is right, as is the scope, so that interested parties are welcome to access it. There's nothing more to say. But if you want to fry it, it's better to keep your hands off. Best Of an icon, which reminds that partly others were more successful with Green's pieces. Still, its relevance is undeniable, and SUPERNATURAL lives up to it.
