Peter Green & Mick Green - Two Greens make a blues

I'm listening to it right now for the first time (found it here: http://blazplavi-guitarmusic.blogspo...eens-make.html )

I have to say it was nothing like I expected, I quite enjoy it though!:thumbsup: Especially the song 'chinese white boy'.

Does anyone know anything about this odd project?

Edit: I just listened to the whole album and it was god awful! :distress: I still quite like 'Chinese white boy' though, and maybe a few other songs. I'm just saying that I would not recomend it.

Still interested if someone knows anything about this project, I read this review http://discog.fleetwoodmac.net/discog.php?pid=639 - it seems to be a mystery album.

"Chinese White Boy" is the only track that Peter played on :)

peter may be on "Post Modern Blues" too

It was a project by a friend of peter Greens Brother Mick, The Raven

The Raven was apparently influenced by Capt Beefheart.
They are the main players on this
Peter was somehow brought into the project\\\

It appears under several different names in different releases

They obviously tried to capitalize on his name

Just like Katmandu

Yeah, I could hear the beefheart influence. :nod: It was like beefheart mixed with joy division. It was fun for a while until, 'Nitzsche's Ass'... I have to say I appreciate the experimentalism on some of the songs, though - they're kinda fun.

Thanks for the info, guys. What makes you think Peter played on 'post modern blues'? Have you read that somewhere? I thought that might be Peter when I heard it too, just cause it reminds me of Peter. :shrug:

The "Mick" here is not Peter's brother .. it's Mick Green from Camel or something...

Peter's guitar playing can only be heard on the track "Eprom Song".
He is thought to be playing bass on "Chinese White Boy", and perhaps also "Post Modern Blues".

Of "Shakin' All Over" fame - a legendary player indeed :nod:. Apparantly his role was much like Peter's, being brought in to play on a few tracks, according to the "Post Modern Blues" liner notes.

"It's Mick Green from the Pirates, Daniel! Of "Shakin' All Over" fame - a legendary player indeed"

And for further confusion Mick Green didn't even play on the original Shakin All Over:)

But he's certainly a legendary player, the original guitarist with Dr.Feelgood (Wilko Johnson) owing a lot to this Mr Green's playing style.

Where did you find that out?

Yes, thanks for the correction: Mick Green from the Pirates! :nod:

I remember reading an interview with The Raven, where he seemed to remember that Peter played bass on either Chinese White Boy or Post Modern Blues. I can't remember which. It could be both of course, but if I had to pick one, I'd go for Chinese White Boy. It has a pretty loose bass line (that I believe Peter of the 80's would settle with:D ), while Post Modern Blues has a more rehearsed bass part.

Regarding the Eprom Song I'm arrogant enough to say that I spotted it myself, and I believe it's correct! ;)
Not the "phased" guitar riff in the intro... But during the "refrain"/"chorus" of the song ("...evermore shall be so..." or what the heck he's saying) there are some clean guitar tones (together with a kalimba thing in the background). Then later, at around 2:20 and to the end, that guitar plays some jazzy lead. Only Peter Greenbaum plays like this. Only him! :)
It's very good actually, and listen to that final note plucked!!!:thumbsup:

Inexplicably I don't have the CD with me :distress: so I can't listen. But it says in the Martin Celmins biography that Peter only plays on "Chinese White Boy". I do think though that with sessions like this, people are very bad at remembering who played on what!

Yes I know, but that one is full of errors and missing sessions. I don't have the book with me right now, but from memory I don't think it mentions Richard Kerr, Toe Fat or Country Joe MacDonald. :distress:

I always thought he played on Post Modern Blues ("Maybe your mama is a Jew") It was on a blues compilation tape I bought years ago, and was credited to Peter Green.

I don't think I want to hear the rest of this album.
