For many, Peter Green is the finest blues guitarist this country ever produced. True, Clapton had the more dazzling technique, and there were several who could probably leave him standing in terms of mere notes-per-second; but such pissing contests completely miss the point, which is that the blues is a matter of feeling. And either none felt quite as deeply as Greeny, or none could express their feelings with quite his subtlety. His graceful passion is in plentiful supply on this four-disc career retrospective, which tracks Green's progress from sideman in future Camel leader Peter Bardens' Looners, through the brief stint with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers that first established his reputation, to his apotheosis with Fleetwood Mac and the comeback with his own Splinter Group that followed his lengthy period in reclusion. Punctuated by collaborations with notables such as Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Otis Rush and Dr John, it's an object lesson in how to simultaneously expand a roots form, both creatively and commercially, without sacrificing the authentic emotional power at its heart.
