Where is Peter Green now. Is he making music. Is he playing at all. I have a lot of the old Max stuff and the Mayall cd. I have an anthology with a few of the things from his comeback. Is there anything recent. Is there word of anything to come.

Which "comeback"? The 78-82 era or the Splinter Group 1995-2001 era?

It's the
Man of the World Anthology. I'm pretty sure thats the '80s comeback. Is the Splinter Group stuff good?

You bet!

And, the sad part was that they were still getting better each album when they broke up. My faves are Destiny Road and Time Traders, but Reaching The Cold 100 (their swan song) has some great cuts, too. Plus, there's the two Robert Johnson tributes and the two live albums (their first album was live; and the two disc Live At Ronnie Scott's) and their all-blues album Blues Don't Change recorded simultaneously as Time Traders.

The Band is tight. The folks are devoted to presenting Peter Green in a good light. The other main vocalist guitar player is Nigel Watson (see post #1 on peter Green section of the ledge) He accompanied Peter Green to rejoin Fleetwood Mac to finish their tour when Jeremy Spencer left abruptly in 1970. Then he was heard on congas and shortly thereafter on two post FM singles by Peter Green. He is a good folk/slide Guitarist and covers much of the electric material well. He was a long time friend of Peter and aided him in coming back to playing in the 90's. All the CDs are interesting. Some cuts are outstanding. With this output of music, Peter Green earned comeback Player of the year frm the blues foundation. THE most presigious awards accolade for blues people. If you had to get just one CD, I would buy "Hot Foot Powder". I am sure you would buy others after listening to that. Unfortunatly Peter Green was separated from the Band right before their next US tour in 2003.

very sad all around

sincerely,

Thank You. I am 49 years old. I play guitar (poorly)and have followed guitar players for years. I have only recently discovered Peter Green. I am amazed by his tone and playing. I had heard some of the P.G. stories through the years. I had just never really heard much. I think I was put off because I have never been a fan of the buckingham -nicks Mac. I think that kept me from listening to the old stuff. I am now a huge fan. I listening to PG almost every day now. I now want an LP with the bass pickup backwards.
