5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant British Blues, August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Destiny Road (Audio CD)

Contrary to the reviewer's comments, this is Peter Green's third recording with the Splinter Group. The first Two disc's were the self-titled debut, followed by the acoustic Robert Johnson Songbook. Where all three recordings are outstanding, this is the strongest of the three, as it seems that the rust is now gone from Green's guitar, his voice is deep and rich, and the performances are wonderfully tight and sympathetic. Only one week cut out of the entire collection. The best in comtemporary British Blues. Highly recommended...Simon

4.0 out of 5 stars Nope --- no new Peter Green songs!, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Destiny Road (Audio CD)

This is the first studio album by Peter Green's Splinter Group to include new, original compositions by the band members --- excepting, however, Peter Green himself. There is a superb update of his 1979 tune "Tribal Dance", and an instrumental rendition of his Fleetwood Mac era hit "Man of the World".

At least the band is stretching out; except for an Elmore James standard and a Steve Winwood track, the rest of the selections are original. As with all Splinter Group releases, the sound is excellent, both in a technical and artistic sense. This band is doing a great job of exploring a kind of light acoustic blues-rock, somewhat like John Mayall's "The Turning Point". Green's guitar is as good as it ever was. Perhaps he may never return to composing --- one can certainly understand the pressure he might feel after almost 20 years --- but it's still a pleasure to hear his voice and the fine playing by everyone in the group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another step in the right direction, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Destiny Road (Audio CD)

The lack of any new Peter Green songs here should send home the fact that this is a group effort. The Splinter Group has done a fine job here. All the songs are well done and flow with a tempo that is soothing and interesting at the same time. A very tasteful CD.
