Peter Green - The supernatural

Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946) is an English blues rock singer-songwriter and guitarist. As a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Green's songs, such as "Albatross", "Black Magic Woman", "Oh Well", "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" and "Man of the World", appeared on singles charts, and several have been adapted by a variety of musicians.
Green was a major figure in the "second great epoch"of the British blues movement. B.B. King commented, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."Eric Clapton has praised his guitar playing; he is noted for his use of string bending, vibrato, and economy of style.
Rolling Stone ranked Green at number 58 in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". His tone on the instrumental "The Supernatural" was rated as one of the 50 greatest of all time by Guitar Player. In June 1996, Green was voted the third-best guitarist of all time in Mojo magazine.Peter Allen Greenbaum was born in Bethnal Green, London on 29 October 1946, into a Jewish family.He began playing professionally by the age of fifteen. He first played bass guitar in a band called Bobby Dennis and the Dominoes, which performed pop chart covers and rock 'n' roll standards, including Shadows covers. He later stated that Hank Marvin was his guitar hero and he played The Shadows song Midnight on the 1996 tribute album "Twang." He went on to join a rhythm and blues outfit, the Muskrats, then a band called The Tridents in which he played bass. In 1966, Green played lead guitar in Peter Bardens' band "Peter B's Looners", where he met drummer Mick Fleetwood. It was with Peter B's Looners that he made his recording début with the single "If You Wanna Be Happy" with "Jodrell Blues" as a B-side. His recording of "If You Wanna Be Happy" was an instrumental cover of a song by Jimmy Soul.
After three months with Bardens' group, Green had the opportunity to fill in for Eric Clapton in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers for three concerts. Soon after, when Clapton left the Bluesbreakers, Green became a full-time member of Mayall's band.
Green made his recording debut with the Bluesbreakers in 1966 on the album A Hard Road (1967),which featured two of his own compositions, "The Same Way" and "The Supernatural". The latter was one of Green's first instrumentals, which would soon become a trademark. So proficient was he that his musician friends bestowed upon him the nickname "The Green God". In 1967, Green decided to form his own blues band and left the Bluesbreakers.

Dubbed the VOCAL VOLCANO by Robert Horn from the Washington Blues Society, Cee Cee has been singing and writing songs for 20 years gathering up stellar reviews and awards from all three CD's she has released. "SPIRITUALLY WET," her first pop/funk CD took home the LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENT ARTIST OF THE YEAR AWARD and the first cut was honored as one of the TOP 10 in the JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING COMPETITION before she put the project to rest in 2002 after some intense life changes and fell face down and Soul up into the Blues. "Cee Cee James is one of the GREATEST BLUES ROCK SINGERS out there today. She's someone I call an 'old soul.' Cee Cee's songs are wonderful stories of her life experiences, and backed by Rob's strong Delta Roots/Blues Slide and Rhythm Guitar playing, they make a great team. Her style reminds me of our classic early female blues and rock singers. She's very passionate about giving a great performance." - Jim Gaines, Producer/Sound Engineer
