I've read that comment from Christine also, but I think she
means co-writing songs, they did collaborate on the
single "When You Say", released by Christine Perfect,
which Kirwan was the producer (also played on)

so maybe Christine only meant FM material?

personally, I really like her version, it's very
understated and her vocal is great too,

do you agree?

Yes, I believe Christine was referring to writing songs with Danny. That's what I was trying to say.

And, yes I also like "When You Say". But, I like Christine's version better than Danny's version on Then Play On. As someone said earlier, I think it works better with a woman singing it than a man.

I also have a question if anyone knows about Christine's piano playing on these early albums. I believe someone mentioned in another post that Jeremy only played on his songs. Did Christine play all of the piano parts on all of Peter Green's songs? I noticed that in the CD booklet for Mr. Wonderful. It says that Jeremy played piano. I know Chris played piano on "Love That Burns". What about "Stop Messin' Around"? Did you she play piano on that song or did Jeremy?

Yes, CM is on SMR. You can hear PG direct her on one of the earlier takes of the song in the "in between song banter" on the "Compete Blue Horizon sessions" box set recordings.

Yeah, since they don't say specifically in the CD/vinyl liner notes I've always just assumed that Chris was doing the piano on PG's songs and JS did the piano on his own songs from MW but I guess we'll never know for sure.

I think it was printed somewhere (but of course, I can't remember where now) that from "Black magic woman" onwards (until PG left and then JS did play on others songs on "Kiln house" etc.) in the studio JS only played on his songs so this is why I have assumed what I have but it's hard to tell if it's the right thing to assume as a fan or not.

At least we know JS w/FM LIVE was a different story, playing shakers on "Rattlesnake shake", "Oh well" etc.

That's my favorite version of "Stop Messin' 'Round", and my favorite Peter Green lead playing.

It's been a bit since I played that CD...but I do recall that ONE of those alternate versions of "Stop Messin' Round" really kicked.

When I heard Gary Moore's cover on his Blues For Greeny album, I thought, "what's he doing changing the words?"...then I got the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions box and lo & behold the alternate version was the one that Gary Moore took his from.

I was impressed with the version Fleetwood Mac played during the 1990 tour with Rick Vito handling guitar & vocals. Christine even took a bit of a piano solo in the middle; really high-energy!! Say what you want about Rick replacing Lindsey, but he did a helluva job on those Peter Green tunes he resurrected once he got in the band.

I agree. I loved "Stop Messin' Around" live from the BTM tour. "I Loved Another Woman" was another good one.

I'm not a huge Jeremy fan, but I still like his stuff alot.

I probably wouldn't want to listen to a whole album full of Jeremy but one of my favorite FM albums is the debut and he plays a big role in that album for sure.

Green got the most of my favorite songs on that album but I really love the mix between Greens numbers and Jeremys.

"My Heart Beat Like A Hammer" is my favorite Jeremy song and it's a perfect opener for one of the best debut albums ever.

Going from Jeremys intensive rendition of "Moneymaker" to Greens sparse and soulful "Looking For Somebody" is great.

Same goes with "My Baby's Good to Me" into "I Loved Another Woman"

It's like going on a rollercoaster ride, a fun and emotional ride thanks to both Jeremy and Green.

But with that said of course Green was a much bigger talent than Jeremy and the best songs on that album is by Green, even though "My Heart Beat Like A Hammer" comes close to match some of the Green numbers.

On Mr Wonderful Jeremys started to sound a bit repetitious and without any real standout tracks it got a bit boring and is one reason that Mr Wonderful is a step down quality wise from the debut.

I love the playfulness in Jeremys voice, you can tell he had fun singing and playing these songs.

"MY HAAART BEEAAT LAAAKE AA HAAAMAH"

Oh and hello I'm a new fan to the pre 75 FM.
When I thought I couldn't love this band more, I fall in love with this era to.
(Please don't flame me for being a Rumours era fan

Yikes you have been digging back in the archives to find this thread!

Don't worry we won't flame you for being a Rumours era fan, although we will try hard to correct that failing

ALL-TIME: Without a doubt "Flee" is my favorite. It's one of the great songs of all time.

FLEETWOOD MAC: I'll have to think about my favorite of his Mac songs; "One Together" or "Buddy's Song" are the ones in the running for me. ETA: Only doing originals.

RECENT: I really love "Psychic Waste."

I've fished through the archives, but I never noticed this thread before, yet it's a good one.

You can't go wrong with "Moneymaker". It's Jeremy's raw blues slide playing at it's finest. While I think this is far superior to Butterfield's take, Jerome Arnold (bass player for Butterfield, also played for Howlin' Wolf) plays like a beast during the second half of Butterfield's version.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but "My Heart Beat Like a Hammer" is a BB King tune with a new arrangement.

I like:
Stranger Blues from Boston Tea Party
Linda (with great back-up vocals from Green and Kirwan)
My Baby's Good To Me
This is the Rock
Can't Afford to Do It (I love the off mic back-up vocals, great touch)
Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight
I'm Worried (the best of the Elmore James "Dust My Broom" progression tunes)

I was unaware that Spencer did an album with songs that sound like Rumours era FM. I have to check that out.

Ahhh - I like his shaved down version of Roberts Johnsons Hellhound On My Trail on Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac and I like his playing and vocals on I Held My Baby Last Night from Blues Jam in Chicago. I have a soft spot for I'm Worried in most versions. He's a great slide player.
