5.0 out of 5 stars Nice cover,eh?, April 6, 2008

By	Glen Kepic "ibzrrsr" (millbrae,ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the original Fleetwood Mac at their gritty best.I actually bought this as part of a 2 record set called Black Magic Woman on Epic records paired with the eponymous Trash Can release(also worth owning) back in '74 and has been played consistently ever since(I jammed with it just yesterday).For me there isn't a bad track to be had and is I think essential listening for anyone who digs Les Pauls, from the biting intro to Stop Messin' Round to the beautiful Albatross.

This album also shows how talented Danny Kirwan was with his tracks Something Inside Of Me(awesome minor key blues plus nice rhythm guitar work from Peter) and One Sunny Day(pretty mean sounding with great rhythm section work from Fleetwood and McVie,simple but effective).Jigsaw Puzzle Blues is another fine offering by Danny showing a bit of a Django Reinhardt influence,as was the case for many of the British players of the '60s.

I like Jeremy Spencer's work as well especially Doctor Brown with strong vocals and slide work.But the best of all is the original version of Black Magic Woman,one of the all time greats(I also have the British single version where reverb is added to Peter's tone for the second cycle of his solo).When I was in a cover band a couple of years ago we did Santana's,mainly as a showcase for our drummer,but I would have been happy to play it Peters way.Love That Burns is another fave,displaying not only Peter's less is more fills,lead work and picking hand dynamics but his awesome vocals.

Its funny,my wife has a bunch of the Buckingham/Nicks Mac recordings but I can hardly think of them as the same group as the Peter Green era.English Rose is a perfect example of why.What an outstanding recording.

This is probably the last Fleetwood Mac album that has any lasting merit IMHO. This album marked a sort of turning point for the band. Peter Greene is here in full effect, so this is a must buy!

It took far to long to reach its destination ,it was a gift and it ended up being a project. You need to ship UPS or Fed EX so you can track items.Ground is cheaper than US Postal service.
