“Peter Green has some really deep stuff going on. A uniquely gifted guy with a great catalog. His take on ‘Homework’ is awesome. [He’s] playing and singing his tail off!”
—JONNY LANG
“ is as rock-solid a British take on down-home Chicago-style 12-bar blues as ever there was. The six-string guitar work from Señor Green dispenses with frills and reminds me somewhat of the late, great Freddie King in terms of tone and approach. Peter, as is widely known, played his now-famed Greeny, a 1959 Gibson Sunburst Les Paul solid body electric that took on a distinctive out-of-phase sound, with that mysterious, magic somethin’ that deepened the undeniable appeal of the Fleetwood Mac sonic experience. The sound of the voice is Peter Green’s blues-approved ‘distressed’ delivery insofar as it’s a bit distorted/ overmodulated, which makes everything the band created all the more credible — or should it be incredible? Green’s stunning vocal and ferocious guitar work, the Fleetwood Mac studio thrust… all have the kind of grit that makes the song as convincing as anything heard in Chicago’s Checkerboard or Pepper’s or Theresa’s back
