#35 Oh Well (Pt. 1) - Fleetwood Mac
Who do you instantly think of when you hear Fleetwood Mac? Why vocalist and lead guitarist Peter Green of course, lol. Well before Lindsey and Princess Stevie (who joined in 74) or even Christie, heck even before Bob Welsh back in 69 their was Pete Green and a bluesy band who put out albums that sold in the hundreds of thousands. Hardly mainstream but they were well thought of musicians.
Green would not have liked what the group eventually turned into. He was respected as one of the greatest guitarists and composers of the time, having succeeded Eric Clapton in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers before establishing Fleetwood Mac in 1967. He presented a high profile acid misfortune in 1970 when he experienced a mental collapse and split the band, dedicating himself to religious work and declaring money as sin. A frequent story has him breaking his manager’s room with a shotgun, forcing that his royalty money to be stopped.
THAT is a true crusader. Point pump and threaten a guy who wants to give you royalties?
Tremendous tune, love the opening and Spanish guitar transition like stepping into a Western but I decided to cut it off before Pt 2. Had to leave something for Pip.
I had a feeling that this was one of the groups that Pip had on his list.
