4.0 out of 5 stars A classic - with one little quibble, 13 Jun 2007
By Richard Bleksley (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a real classic among British blues albums, and it's nice to have it remastered on CD.

Those whose acquaintance with or interest in John Mayall is limited to the "Beano" album would do well to give this a listen. Okay, it doesn't have God's blistering guitar work, but Mayall's songwriting is stronger, the ensemble playing is punchier and tighter, and the arrangements have more variety than on the Clapton album. And of course you get the rapidly burgeoning talents of Peter Green.

There are some real gems among the bonus tracks too, such as Peter Green's brilliant solo rendition, soaked with blues feeling, of J B Lenoir's bitter and outspoken "Alabama Blues," and the four tracks with the virtuoso harmonica playing of Paul Butterfield. But why, oh why, couldn't they have included the wonderful single "Double Trouble" / "It Hurts Me Too," the best single Mayall made with Peter Green and possibly ever? I'm afraid the omission has cost this otherwise excellent album its fifth star.

Highly recommended all the same, if you like British blues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest blues guitar solo ever?, 7 Sep 2007
A great album - primarily because of Peter Green's guitar playing. The Supernatural is clearly the precursor to Albatross but this album is special primarily because it contains the best recorded blues guitar solo ever on The Stumble. Amazing....not one note that doesn't take its place perfectly - and delivered with the easy skill of a true maestro. (Even BB King has paid tribute to Green's astonishing talent).

5.0 out of 5 stars Smoking!, 19 Jan 2008
By Buffalohump77 (Heart of Darkness) - See all my reviews
There's something about late 60s London that will always capture my imagination. Austin Powers aside, its an incredibly rich period in our cultural history that produced some remarkable pieces of music and film. This recording is right up there with other more famous examples. I've long wanted to pursue the early phase of Peter Green's recording career, after hearing a brief snatch of his guitar work many years back. I finally did some searching on Amazon and was pleased to find this re-release, which looked like an excellent sampler of his work with Mayall. I was not disappointed. Hard Road is a stone classic IMO and has that awesome British Blues sound that aficianados of this sound will recognise immediately. Do not hesitate to grab this if you are on the fence - it's worth every penny and based on this material Peter Green should be considered the equal of his considerably more famous colleague, Mr Eric Clapton.
