Man Of The World or Need Your Love So Bad
Here's a couple slow Peter songs I thought I'd throw out there for consideration of all you good fans. Man Of The World for me, hands down. Although Need Your Love So Bad is no slouch.

Between the two, I tend to lean toward "Man Of The World" since it is a Peter Green composition.
"Need Your Love So Bad" was a cover...written by Little Willie John back in the late 40's/early 50's. Peter & the Mac do a great job on it (check out the various versions on the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions collection). The Allman Bros Band (I'm in an ABB obsession these days) does a nice cover of it on their Enlightened Rogues album, as well.

Another thing that I love about Man Of The World is how incredibly real it sounds. That's mr Green and his feelings right there in song. Classic.

Willie died in prison in about 1967; his brother is still alive (I think). I am also having an Allman Brothers Band obsession; the SACD releases of "Live at Fillmore East" & "Eat A Peach" have been in my CD player more than any other disc the last year. GJK |

I was just playing a bit of "Man of the world" on me gitfiddle. Its a beautiful melody, and the emotion in Peter's voice sends chills down my spine!

Although I have not heard King's version yet, it can be found on his 1968 release (first of I believe three LPs he released that year) titled "Lucille". Interestingly, the running time on it is less than two and a half minutes - as with "All Over Again" a.k.a "Got a Mind To Give Up Living" Green was able to stretch the number to amazing lengths in concert without ever overwhelming the core truth of the songs. Not nearly as easy as it sounds.

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Canned Heat - they all were very skilled concerning 'lengthening' blues standards, which originally all lasted about 2:30 - 3:00, into never-boring tunes. GJK |

Man of the World for me too - it was the song that first got me interested in Fleetwood Mac, way way back in ooh... about 1993
I like NYLSB too, but I'm not a big fan of the regular version with the strings, I much prefer it without. |
