Chinese White Boy

[chriskisn]

Ok so was listening to a complilation album of various blues artists, and came across 'Chinese White Boy' by Peter Green and Mick Green.

Does anyone know anything about this song or when it was recorded?

My album is called 'The Blues Anthology' from 1999, but it is simply a compilation of various blues artists.

The album was recorded by one Laurie Gaines in 1986. Peter is said to be playing on "Chinese white boy" and "Post modern blues". Possibly also "Eprom song".
Apprantly Greeny remembers nothing about it!

it is said that peter became fond of koto music

michael green was a friend of Raven who is the main performer in this Album

It appears under at least three different cover releases

kind of an electronic "Captain Beefheart" attempt.

Don Van Vilet does live in England now so, who knows?

Chinese White Boy is one of the more entertaining cuts

it was done in 1986 I think during Peters murkier period.

Maybe thats why he does not remember

Thanks guys for this info. Basically it seems like Two Greens Make A Blues is simply trying to trade on Peter's name...

And Mick Green's (ex Pirates) name. The album has very little input from Greeny, but it's worth picking up if you can find it cheaply and like Beefheart-style blues.

Yes of course, I didn't think about that. When I saw Mick Green I instantly thought of Mike Green (Peter's brother). See it is amazing what you learn on the Ledge.

He's on Post Modern Blues. A very strange song. Guess ya had to be there...

According to the sleeve notes Peter played bass and guitar.
You can hear him play a few guitar notes during the "choruses" of Eprom Song, and at the end too (if I remember correct).
It's commonly believed that he plays the loose bass on Chinese White Boy too.
