Blues For Life Your place for blues reviews and news.

Did you know that Fleetwood Mac was once a awesome blues rock band? Neither did I till I accidentally read something about them. It turns out that Peter Green (formally of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, pre schizophrenia) was one of the founding members with Mick Fleetwood. They later added awesome slide player Jeremy Spencer (pre cult insanity) and Bob Burnning who was only till John McVie joined (pre alcoholism). This band was an awesome blues machine and their first self title album is a testament to how great they really were. Eventually though the album was renamed Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac after the more familiar anit-Fleetwood Mac group appeared. Their next album Mr. Wonder full was also straight blues and they were one of the last groups to record at Chess before it went under. Well as with most great things it eventually fell apart but just in case you don't believe me here is a link to the original Fleetwood Mac album.
