After a day of Shrine '69 and Vaudeville Years, I'm well and truly over Peter Green's FM and am moving onto Kiln House tomorrow. Should I get through everything by the end of next week then I might go back to BBC and Boston albums. If I get bored and desperate I might do Blues Jam at Chess (never my favourite album at the best of times).
What I have discovered, perhaps more about myself than the band is that I can only take PG's FM in relatively small doses (if five days of it is considered a small dose).
I have particularly enjoyed Jeremy's work on Vaudeville, particularly his impersonations - Alexis Korner, John Mayall, etc. Danny's work as always is excellent, I can't ever really fault his stuff.
I was playing Jeremy doing Blue Suede Shoes last night when my wife came in and was trying to have a serious conversation with me. Hard to have one of those while in the background Jeremy is suggesting you should suck and lick a certain part of his anatomy.
Melissa was not impressed!
I did wonder though when he was singing that song, whether that was the one he used to do with Harold the dildo sticking out of his fly.
Two quotes from Vaudeville which made me laugh today while driving:
Just before we start can I just say, for those of you who live in Timbuktu...[a few seconds of silence follow]
and
It's got to be good its the only bluesy thing on the whole f**king LP! [in reference to Showbiz Blues]
One day I'm going to go to Timbuktu and play the song to find out what the message was
