Peter Green Splinter Group - Soho Session (Live 1999) (@256)

(Review from amazon)

Of all of the outstanding recordings Peter Green has made with the Splinter Group this is perhaps their finest release.

The rust present on the first Splinter Group recording is absent here. Green plays in all of his fluid, soulful glory. The band is tight and remarkably attuned to his musical presence. Covers of some old Fleetwood Mac numbers are particularly enjoyable. Even though some of the same blues standards are covered on the first release, the versions on this recording improve upon them greatly.

It's nice to have Peter Green back after all of these years. His is one voice that was sorely missed, as guitarists of his like are rare in that he never overplays but is remarkable for his passion and soulful soloing. Brilliant musician, brilliant recording.

"Soho Session" captures the blues of Fleetwood Mac and Robert Johnson the way they should be played.
