Ever hear of Peter Green who was the founder of Fleetwood Mac as a Blues band in 1967 but left in 1970?
Ever hear him do this song as a solo endeavor:
Peter Green - Jumping At Shadows
Peter Green also wrote & performed the song Black Magic Woman that Santana covered and made it a big hit. If you remain at the link you will hear him doing Black Magic woman right after Jumping At Shadows finishes. 😋
The interesting thing about the song Jumping At Shadows is that Green was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent time in psychiatric hospitals undergoing electroconvulsive therapy during the mid-1970s. The song was actually written by Tony "Duster" Bennett who was based in London, his first album Smiling Like I'm Happy saw him playing as a one-man band, playing a bass drum with his foot and blowing a harmonica on a rack while strumming a 1952 Les Paul Goldtop guitar given to him in 1968 by Peter Green. He died in 1976 in an auto accident. I wonder it that played any role in Peter green's mental issues?
I never really got into Peter Green that much. Transformer and Coney Island Baby were my favorite Lou Reed albums. I had the song “Kicks” turned up too loud, loud enough for my dad to hear. I almost got my LP smashed!
