How many of you know of Fleetwood Mac ....the original Fleetwood Mac of 1967-1970 with Peter Green . . ?
THe group formed by Peter Green and other guys (from John Mayal Blues Breakers) and he named the group after the other guys, about 1967.
They made music after old blues style inspired by the old blues masters.
I was in a record store this morning (yes, a record store, yes, a record store here in our little town) and the owner was playing such and I was quite impressed. ANd I was quite surprized when he told me was Fleetwood Mac.
As I understand it, this Peter Green and another guy left Fleetwood Mac about 1970 (lot more to that story).
And the other original two later found Stevie Nicks & LIndsy Buckenham and developed thier own style but kept using the Fleetwood Mac name, and Peter Green's songs.
But, if you want stuff that is more like the old Blues, but yet great new stuff, you need the original Fleetwood Mac that was before the Fleetwood Mac that is more well known.
Is a lot more that I could yammer yammer on about. But one thing I will say is that this Peter Green is author of "Black Magic Woman" (later popularized by Santana), and "Oh Well" (later more popular by later version of Fleetwood Mac).
Here is one vid I found
(I dont know if was anything I heard in the store this morning.)
another (... you will recognize it....was later done by the other Fleetwood Mac and others...)
I should also say, the record shop has a coffee shop in the back of the record store - good stuff - maybe that had some effect on my enjoyment of the music. har har har THis is my new regular coffee shop.
>>later note:
Is called "Off The Record".
THis view toward the front door. View the other way would be the room for CDs, and then another room for the Coffee Shop.
