That was his gift. Not only that the way he plays those quasi blues/jazz chords is perfection, not one bum note.

One thing the blue horizon version highlights for me is the way they recorded too. Its quite plain too see that they basically done live takes with peter playing and singing at the same time! How awesome is that, im sure that never happens now. I love Mcvies bass as well on fool no more outlines the chords and creates the perfect mood really stunning stuff! One of my all time fav tunes.
