JohnMayall FirstGeneration 1965 1974 pl min

In the pantheon of British blues music, few have had as much influence as John Mayall.  As the leader of The Bluesbreakers in the '60s and '70s (and through to today), he's sought out and nurtured talented musicians who'd go on to become as legendary as Mayall himself.  Indeed, the roster of future legends that passed through the ranks of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers is immense.  John McVie, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Paul Butterfield, Aynsley Dunbar, Mick Taylor, Keef Hartley, and Jack Bruce all

Peter Green

Earlier today, it was confirmed that Peter Green - the wunderkind guitarist who played with john Mayall's Bluesbreakers and co-founded Fleetwood Mac as well as his own Splinter Group - died at the age of 73.  As a singer, songwriter, and electrifying guitar-slinger, Green pushed the boundaries of blues-rock and forged a thrilling, all-encompassing new sound reflected on such classic songs as "Black Magic Woman,"  "Albatross," "Oh Well," and "Man of the World."  Artists the caliber of B.B.

fleetwoodmac 1973 74 prodshot cds

1975's Fleetwood Mac introduced a new sound for the band founded by Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer. The addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to the lineup saw a marked shift towards mainstream pop-rock and earned the group its first No. 1 album. But the Mac had been reinventing itself virtually from the start. Now, its early years are being revisited on a pair of new releases from Rhino due September 4. Fleetwood Mac 1969 to 1974 is a long-anticipated,

Peter Green The End of the Game

The End of the Game, influential blues guitarist and Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green's 1970 proper debut album, should have marked a beginning rather than the promised end. But Green's title was prescient; he didn't return with another album for almost a decade even as his old band skyrocketed to superstardom. Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint has just returned The End of the Game to CD in a single-disc, expanded edition. Green entered the studio for The End of the Game under
