Our Take

In the musical world, few names carry as much weight and mystique as Peter Green and Robert Johnson. Put them together and you've got a collaboration that's bound to make waves.

On "The Robert Johnson Songbook," Green takes on some of Johnson's most iconic tracks with his own unique twist. The result is a bluesy, soulful journey that pays homage to a legendary musician while showcasing Green's immense talent and creativity.

From the haunting opening notes of "Cross Road Blues" to the foot-stomping energy of "Hellhound on My Trail," Green effortlessly captures the raw emotion and magic of Johnson's music. His guitar playing is impeccable, his vocals are soulful and heartfelt, and his arrangements are fresh and exciting.

But what really sets this album apart is Green's ability to inject his own personality into the songs. Whether he's adding a funky groove to "Sweet Home Chicago" or a touch of psychedelia to "Love in Vain," Green's interpretations feel fresh and inspired.

Overall, "The Robert Johnson Songbook" is a true masterpiece that showcases Peter Green's talent and passion for music. It's a must-listen for any fan of blues or rock, and a testament to the enduring legacy of two musical legends.

About the artist

Peter Green

Peter Green: The Enigmatic Blues Maestro In the hazy world of British blues, few figures loom as large - or enigmatic - as Peter Green. As the founding member of Fleetwood Mac, he brought a soulful touch to the genre that inspired countless imitators and cemented his status as a legend. But Green was never one to conform to expectations, his tumultuous personal life often overshadowing his undeniable talent. With his haunting vocals and virtuosic guitar playing, Green forged a path that defied easy categorization. His deeply introspective lyrics and moody melodies captivated audiences and critics alike, earning him a reputation as a true original in a sea of copycats. But Green's story is as tragic as it is triumphant. Struggling with mental health issues and addiction throughout his career, he ultimately walked away from the spotlight at the height of his fame, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians. Despite his personal demons, Green's influence on the music world cannot be overstated. From his groundbreaking work with Fleetwood Mac to his acclaimed solo albums, his impact is still felt in every note of blues-infused rock and roll. As we look back on his career, one thing is clear: Peter Green was a true original, a musical visionary who refused to be confined by convention. And for that, we will always be grateful.
