"Might be Peter Green..."

This version of Need Your Love So Bad started life as a home recorded vocal by Peter Green in 1968 using a domestic tape recorder. Producer Laurie Latham took the vocal track and with the full input of legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour created a new musical landscape for this classic blues track. Peter heard and approved of the treatment before he passed away, peacefully in his sleep, on July 25th 2020.

I hope no one will be offended if these Peter Green songs are played over and over again because it's the only way to keep his memory alive. Here's perhaps the best version of "Green Manalish" since young Peter Green performed it himself:

Back to the basics which is Peter Green's music. As long as there are those who want their own "Peter Green moment", it will stay alive.

You can't be serious about comparing Stan Webb to Peter Green!!! LOL (Peter would rotate in his grave - and quite rightly so!)

[LeoL]

But Stan Webb probably compares himself to Peter Green - his idol - the hero of his youth...in that third link he even has the same guitar as Peter Green had. This thread is not about who has the right to try to play like Peter Green. I think Stan Webb is clearly trying to achieve the same blues feel as Peter Green - kudos to him for that. Did you know about his connection with Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie?

PLEASE - I'm no newbie, dude! But just the fact that Mr. Webb played in the same band with Christine Perfect (as she was then) doesn't make him a good blues guitarist. What a weird reasoning.

And with this I'll leave you alone on this thread for good. Good night.

My amateur ear likes Stan Webb's guitar playing. At the expert level, he is considered one of the best blues guitarists in the UK, along with John Mayall and Peter Green. They performed at the same time in the same circles in the late 1960s. Both Mayall and Green must have been some kind of "father figures" as blues guitarists to Webb, who is a few years younger than them. Green's influence is evident in Webb's performance.

Key Points about Stan Webb:

Stan Webb is a British guitarist, singer, and songwriter, best known as the founder and frontman of the blues-rock band Chicken Shack. Born on February 3, 1946, in London, England, Webb has been a prominent figure in the British blues scene since the late 1960s.

Chicken Shack: Webb formed Chicken Shack in the mid-1960s. The band became one of the leading acts in the British blues boom, alongside groups like Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Chicken Shack's early lineup included Christine Perfect (later known as Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac) on keyboards and vocals.

Musical Style: Webb is known for his distinctive guitar playing and soulful vocals. His style is deeply rooted in blues, but he also incorporates elements of rock and jazz into his music.

Albums and Hits: Chicken Shack released several albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including "40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve" (1968) and "O.K. Ken?" (1969). One of their most famous songs is "I'd Rather Go Blind," which featured Christine Perfect on vocals.

Later Career: Over the years, Webb has continued to perform and record with various lineups of Chicken Shack. He has also collaborated with other musicians and released solo material. Despite changes in the music industry, Webb has remained dedicated to the blues genre.

Influence and Legacy: Stan Webb is respected for his contributions to the British blues scene. His work with Chicken Shack has influenced many musicians, and he is regarded as one of the stalwarts of British blues.

Stan Webb's enduring passion for blues music and his dynamic performances have earned him a loyal fan base and a lasting legacy in the world of blues and rock.
