Format:Audio CD
Weird but inspired, this album is dedicated to Peter Green, founder of the original blues based Fleetwood Mac, and is so clever that you really can believe that it’s Green himself - his songs, the guitar he used on them (given to Gary Moore by him, clearly cherished and beautifully played) and, most bizarrely of all, his voice.
Gary Moore has painstakingly produced one of the very best tribute albums possible - not only does it often improve on the originals (in particular “Long Grey Mare” and “I Loved Another Woman”) while brilliantly re-interpreting others, most notably the breathtakingly long work-out of “Looking For Somebody”, but it helped stimulate the great UK bluesman out of retirement. Reason enough on its own for serious praise but, quite regardless of all this, a brilliant album in its own right. If you're into classic UK R&B, don't miss it.

This tribute to Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac is as sincere as you could wish to find. Using Green's famed Les Paul, Moore performs a range of his songs with admirable results.
Moore perhaps mimics Green a little too much, but in doing so he rolls back the distortion and demonstrates a controlled mastery of the instrument.
This is probably worth buying for Driftin' alone - an 8 minute masterclass in classic blues.
If you can still get it, the live video of the gig staged at Shepherd's Bush Empire is well worth getting, as Moore lets loose a little more, and does a great version of Ellmore James' Dust My Broom.

I first heard a couple of tracks from this played on Paul Jones radio 2 show several years ago, when driving home from work, and immediately bought the CD.
Then a couple of months later I found there was a double CD After Hours/Blues for Greeny. So I bought that as well. Now I had two copies. Fortunately, a friend visiting us was also entranced by Blues for Greeny, so my first buy promptly became his birthday present.
Six years later this is still one of my favourites, and the more I listen to it the better it gets, even when comparing it directly with A Hard Road featuring Peter Green at his best. This is a passionate British Blues collection, as originally created by Peter Green, and now lovingly revelled in by Gary Moore.
The sleeve notes are excellent, and offer some revealing history about why Gary recorded the CD and how Peter Green gave him his guitar and blessing to use it.
Gary Moore is simply one of the best guitarists ever, and using Peter Green's original guitar he can do no wrong. As this CD proves.

Moore blues
What a great tribute from one blues legend to another. Gary Moore's playing encapsulates Peter Green's own immaculate style.
Great playing, great songs and great blues.

After Gary Moore died tragically the other year, a great gapping hole had been left in the music world. This album reminds us of just how good he was. Read more
