The soft-rock band, Fleetwood Mac, of Riannen, Dreams, etc was originally called Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, focusing on blues-rock, before Green’s departure in 1970 due to drug-induced schizophrenia. Prior to this Green had been a member of the seminal group, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, filling in for another blues legend, Eric Clapton.
He re-surfaced in the late 70’s as a solo artist and again in 1990’s, with the Peter Green Splinter Group, releasing 9 albums between 1997 and 2003.
Febuary 25, 2008 sees the re-release of the Devil & Me Box Set, previously only avaialble to 10,000 lucky fans in 2001.
This album caters to Peter Green’s obsession with Robert Johnson.
