In the late 1960s, Green fronted Fleetwood Mac when the band played a hard blues-rock sound, prior to the more pop/rock sound for which it became known by the 1970s. Peter Green started off as a bass player in such bands as The Muskrats. Joining The Peter B’s, led by Peter Bardens, later the frontman of Camel, (including drummer Mick Fleetwood) he switched to lead guitar and made his first recordings. He took over the lead guitar spot in John Mayall and The Blues Breakers in 1966 after the departure of Eric Clapton.|After recording on one Mayall album Peter left in 1967 to form Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green was the guiding force of Fleetwood Mac from 1967 to 1970 when he left for musical and personal reasons. Under Green’s guidance, the Mac played a very gritty and authentic version of the electric blues popularized in bars on Chicago’s south side. (They even did some fine recordings there—“Blues Jam in Chicago”—which saw release only after his tenure in the band had ended.) A prolific song writer also, he penned such hits as Man of the World; Oh Well; Green Man... Read More About Peter Green Biography...  Send Peter Green ringtones to your cell
