Search - Peter Green & The Men In Blue :: I Got The Blues For Christmas

This Peter Green is American; he's not the English bluesman.

"This Xmas album is straightforward Texas-style blues: Gatemouth Brown, Albert Collins, more-Stevie-Ray-than-Jimmie Vaughan (and more's the pity). The singing is kinda throaty and sincere. Nothing exceptional--or distracting, for that matter.Except for the name. If Jeff Buckley was doomed to be his father's son, at least his name was different. Mr. Green's "public" commitment to his name may be admirable, but it strikes me as hardly short of perverse to challenge legend by publicly appearing with the same name as the Peter Green of blues and rock history. Ironically, the latter's real name is Peter Greenbaum! But what the American may get in terms of integrity seems to be at the cost of much confusion."

"This Peter Green is not THE FLEETWOOD MAC'S PETER GREEN, but he is anyway great blues guitarist and this Xmas Blues CD is much better than most of this kind of music. Sheer blues in a christmas way. You will not regret if you buy it. But it is not the ol' Splinter Green...."
