The Splinter Group
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
