Rip peter green

Guitar great and rock n roll casualty.   His rhythm section went on to have some good pop songs.  RIP.

Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
I've got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can't see
That she's a black magic woman
She's trying to make a devil out of me

errrrrr---ahhhh - ohhhh- one of the greats . Started a great blues band - and walked away from the scene as they were starting to peak.

One of my all-time favorite musical pioneers. Another one gone too soon! broken heart

Bummer.

Fortunately, the other Peter Green is still pretty badass.

Embryonic Journey, Beatles Medley and Patricia's Passing

From a friend on Facebook:

"He is best known for putting together a band called Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. The name was shortened for the second album. Prior to that he was in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Here is an example of his guitar work with them. Mayall isn't actually on this track. This is some of the finest electric guitar playing ever recorded in my opinion."

RIP.  A pioneer connecting us to the past and providing for the future

R.I.P. to the great Peter Green.

 Calling him a "casualty" is a bit of a stretch.  Syd Barrett and Skip Spence were casualties.  They both became incapacitated by mental illness and stopped creating music.  Peter Green took a hiatus for most of the 1970's, but returned to making records and playing shows again.  He was not washed up.

I always dug his playing on this 1971 Memphis Slim album.  It was recorded a year or so after his heavy acid trip in Germany.   He may have been struggling with schizophrenia, but he wasn't incapacitated.
