5.0 out of 5 stars Setting the Record Straight, January 16, 1999
By 
Marc Szeftel (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
At last, a thorough and balanced account of the life and times of one of the great musicians of the last half of the 20th century, whose personal struggles prevented him from enjoying his fame and cementing his reputation. Most people still think Santana wrote "Black Magic Woman."

Until now it's been maddeningly difficult to get much solid information on the phases of Green's career; other than Mick Fleetwood's autobiography, which leaves many questions unanswered, there hasn't been a good reference. This fine volume also includes an authoritative discography and sessionography. A must for any Green fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Green, Founder Of Fleetwood Mac, March 9, 1999
By A Customer
I have read this book and it is inspiring and tragic about one of the greatest rock and blues guitarist coming out of the Uk as a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreaker before founding one of the most successful supergroups Fleetwood Mac, and his songs as "Black Magic Woman" (covered by Santana), "Rattlesnake Shake" (covered by Aerosmith) and "The Green Manalishi" (covered by Judas Priest) are exceptional. His LSD abuse led to his nervous breakdown and leaving the business for more than two decades despite his low-keyed comeback in the late 1970's and eaerly 1980's. Now he is back and reclaming his throne as a guitar extraordinaire and with his new band in the shack, and it was good to see this Rock n' Roll Hall Of Famer not living in the Syd Barrett example

5.0 out of 5 stars The blues of Peter Green: an amazing story of salvation., November 11, 1998
The beautiful guitar talents of Peter Green lead him to fame and fortune, but his self-doubt mixed with hallucinogenic excesses cast him down a hellish road of mental & emotional anguish. How he escapes from this dark existence is a tribute to the healing powers of the human heart. Sad, humorous, and ultimately inspirational. An excellent telling of the original Fleetwood Mac juggernaut which also featured the fine talents of Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer.
