Do you also enjoy Chicken Shack & Free , Phil ?
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
Free was my favorite back in high-school. Of course I fell for "The Voice", Paul Rodgers, but I was also mesmerized by the bass playing of Andy Frasier. Certainly one of the finest bass-players of that era. I accepted Kossof's guitar playing but in retrospect it was a perfect minimalist accompaniment to the rest of the group.
Have you checked out your library's Peter Green set or do they have it in digital form on-line? I wonder how good it is. I see it on Amazon but it's a bit pricey (oddly, it's about 1/3 the price on Amazon Canada):
I have one of Green's Splinter Group CDs which is mostly fantastic.

All Points Bulletin
By Dispatch (Musical group) (to get some Phil Keaggy , who also was highly recommended)

"Oh Well" parts one and two were reversed by the record company, yes. I have the Anthology and I like it. Like most anthologies of anyone I am crazy about, it is good as far as it goes. Which is far enough for the more casual listener. As an example, one song from The End Of The Game was not enough for me.
If you are not familiar with Green's work with The Splinter Group and after, know that he sings very well but is a very different guitarist than he was in the Sixties and Seventies. The drug disaster in Germany and its aftermath cut deeply.
Being a fan of Fleetwood Mac after Green, I sometimes lament the short shrift streaming services and CD catalogs give to the releases after Then Play On and before the Buckingham-Nicks era. Not to mention that Time, by the best band lineup after Kirwan left, is not even mentioned in the record company's listings. Detested by critics and most fans, it sold poorly. It is the only non Buckingham-Nicks release after 1974. Bekka Bramlett was the most talented female singer the band ever had. Dave Mason was in the lineup too. You have to jump a few hurdles to get any of this stuff. There is one uncredited Peter Green guest performance in the "between" time, some spare guitar lines on one song, and it is lost in the barely available era.

It's very nice. but covers of classic blues, not his original work.
A little jazzy, not so much bluesy, but very listenable with good dynamics.

These were always my favorites and coincide with my "formative" years of high-school . . . and beyond.
Not sure what to think of Time, as in whether or not I should add it to my collection, or not for an investment of less than ten-bucks.
So far this year I've enlightened my daughters by showing that most Christmas songs were written by Jews. Now I've shown them that one of their Dad's favorite Bluesmen, Peter Green, was born "Greenbaum", too. It increases their musical experience and keeps them in touch with their grandfather's heritage all at the same time!

Time bears little resemblance to Fleetwood Mac's other work. That's why few liked it; they were expecting something else. I won't defend it, just say that some of the songs therein are favorites of mine. Others I skip. Rhapsody does stream it, for listening or download. Some of it reminds me of the Danny Kirwan era.
One of the nice things about the Kiln House through Heroes Are Hard To Find catalog is the talent that rotated through the group then. Bob Weston uncorked a memorable slide lead on the first cut on Penguin, a Christine McVie song "Remember Me", which may pop into my head on my deathbed. Danny Kirwan's tone on "Tell Me All The Things You Do" from Kiln House is the most constipated I can remember, and also memorable. That is well heard, being an FM staple for decades. Soundcloud has a live workout of it, but with the tone more open. Kirwan was a fantastic musician. Half of what are considered Green's parts are Danny's. This was one of the best live bands ever. Easy to recognize the rhythm section. It is fitting and proper that the band is called Fleetwood Mac.

so The PG/Splinter Group's time is about up and gotta go back to the county. I gave it another spin. Somehow I liked it much better the second time
In the Man of the World documentary , Peter kinda mumbles a lot. Accent gets lost sometimes. BUT , singing ..he is clear and concise. I've noticed that on a lot of Brits ... in speaking , lots of local accent, but singing , well they could be American.
Hows that happen ?

I read in the distant past that the brain uses different mechanisms for speaking and singing. It is also said by many working musicians that when one plays and sings at the same time, one of them will be performed on autopilot.so The PG/Splinter Group's time is about up and gotta go back to the county.

I used to know a man from Gela in Sicily. He was a friend, my Macrobiotics guru, and a casual acoustic guitar strumming folk singer. Lino always spoke with a distinct Sicilian accent but when he sang it was with a perfect American diction without a trace of the accent. He attested that there was no conscious effort involved, it just came out that way.

reviewing the anthology 4 disk set:
disk #1 was so good that I can't progress to #2. It's the bluesy one with cuts from John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, Eddie Boyd , Peter B's Looners and Duster Bennett.
sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Found this tidbit on wiki ...
but quickly started playing a Gibson Les Paul with The Bluesbreakers and Green's guitar was often referred to as his "magic guitar". In 2000 he told Guitar Player magazine: "I never had a magic one. Mine wasn't magic...It just barely worked.". In part, his unique tone derived from the neck pickup having been installed with the magnet in reverse during a repair while on tour in America, resulting in an out of phase sound
