Description
Mention the name Peter Green, and three phrases come to mind - "Fleetwood Mac," for the band he formed in 1967, and which has remained a musical institution ever since; "genius," because of all the stars outside the inviolate Beck/Clapton/Hendrix triumvirate of sixties guitar heroes which everyone agrees upon, Green comes closer to gatecrashing entry than anyone else you could name; and "tragedy," because legend and rumor long ago took over from concrete observation when it comes to reporting Peter Green's activities.
The Ultimate Listening Guide to Peter Green sweeps away all the cobwebs. Based on hours of exclusive interviews with Green, bandmates Nigel Watson, John Mayall and Mick Fleetwood, and many more, the Ultimate Listening Guide traces this most gifted of guitarists from his earliest days with an instrument, through to the birth of the Splinter Group - the band with whom he engineered his comeback more than two decades ago.
It is a magical story - to match the magical music that Green was making throughout
The Ultimate Listening Guide is a series of short (approx 40 page) guides to the lives, times and most crucial recordings by a wide range of artists.
