Great tone, tasteful licks and Jeff's unique technique make this very special to me.
He is badly missed.

"and if you wanna get high
close to the sky
welcome to the mountains"
The first of the two tracks; Mick Taylor with the Bluesbreakers playing Greeny, which I assume is a tribute to Peter Green. I don't know much about it, it's a bonus track on later editions of the Crusade album,which has Taylor credited as guitar player, so I assume it's him. Although it could be a previously unreleasedtrack by Greeny himself
Such tone
The second track isn't bad either
edit; "greeny" has Peter Green listed as composer, so maybe it was him.
'Greeny' is a Peter Green track...written by him and its on his Anthology Album and its defintely his vocals as I don't recall Mick Taylor singing a whole lot ..............
I'm sure someone will prove me wrong mind!!
Jumping at Shadows .not so sure about this ... .but it sound more Green than Taylor to me. ..........
"Death is just a heartbeat away" lyric from "Out in The Fields" Gary Moore 1952-2011

Absolutely. Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac doing a cover of a Duster Bennett song - and good choice of songs btw Blackhorse.

Interesting though, when Peter Green sings about the Devil getting at you it sounds like something to be worried about.
This is the Boston Tea Party live version of the Peter Green / Fleetwood Mac -if anyone's still unsure who is playing on the second part of the "Greeny" YouTube clip this should clarify beyond doubt. Oh the tone, the tone.

This is cool, lots o' good stuff !
So far my favorites are Jeff Healy and that "unknown" HalfBlindLefty guy
I really wanted to add Loan Me a Dime, (Boz Scaggs w/ Duane - one of my all time favs.) but I can't find a recording. Then I thought I'd go for Wonderful Tonight, but it seems 12Bar loves that one so much, you guys must have that covered, "in spades"
DOUBLE TROUBLE.... especially as played by EC, and most especially as EC played it with Steve Winwood, and MOST, MOST, MOST especially (as I've heard the 3 versions from the 3 nights in Feb 2008) the one he did (7 minutes long) on the 3rd (last) night of the first reunion with SW. It, as I've said many times, was SO perfect, so GODlike, it brought me to tears... literally.
How about "First time I met the blues" by Buddy Guy, with great grunty saxes and fantastic drumming by - think - Fred Below, not to mention incredible shrieking vocals from BG?
Or "Going down slow" by Howling Wolf, with that lovely sobbing, mournful bridge pickup playing from Hubert Sumlin.
Both of these the original Chess recordings, if you can find them.
Also, I know I used to listen to a soulful "Five long years" by Eddie Boyd, with a beautiful solo by Matt Murphy, but I just cannot find it now. Anyone else recognise it?
