VAN MORRISON – MOVING ON SKIFFLE (2CD)
It should come as no surprise that Van Morrison has made an album inspired by skiffle. Van Morrison’s love of skiffle dates back to his childhood. He would hang out at the famed Belfast record store Atlantic Records, where he’d hear early 20th century folk, blues and jazz from the likes of Lead Belly and Jelly Roll Morton. So when he heard Lonnie Donegan’s take on ‘Rock Island Line’ he intuitively understood the music he was creating. Before long, Van Morrison was playing with a skiffle band in school. Several decades on, Van Morrison now revisits his love of the genre with his new album ‘Moving On Skiffle’.

PETER GREEN – WHATCHA GONNA DO? (CD)
Fourth Solo Album Written By Mike Green
1-CD
Blues
‘Whatcha Gonna Do?’ is Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green’s fourth solo album, the third in his middle period of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Considering this period of Peter Green’s solo career, this is one of the best albums. All the tracks on the album were written by Green’s brother Mike. “Gotta See Her Tonight” is bitterness itself, to a rock-reggae beat. “Lost My Love” is a subtly dynamic slow blues, with two superb solos that refer to Albert King. And then there’s “Last Train To San Antone” with an architectural guitar solo. Green’s guitar leads had gotten very elliptical but still has a nice pace and attack. There’s an excellent rhythm section, particularly Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks and a nice production job by Peter Vernon-Kell.SKU: 8718627232798 -

PETER GREEN – LITTLE DREAMER (CD)
3rd Solo Album Including “Born Under a Bad Sign”
1-CD
Blues
Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green released his third solo album Little Dreamer in 1980. Peter’s brother Mike was responsible for the lyrical content, while Peter was the man behind the musical ideas. He invited some other musicians, like Fairport Convention’s drummer Dave Mattacks and Status Quo’s bass guitarist John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, to play on the record. The third track “Born Under A Bad Sign” takes you right back to the roots of his music, while “Loser Two Times” is his venture into the disco music. But above all he shows how he is still the master of the blues.In 1967 Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie played in the legendary John Mayall & The Blues Breakers, and were given free studio time during which they recorded five songs. Peter Green was so convinced of this band/s musical prowess that he formed Fleetwood Mac on the spot and named it after the drummer & the bass player.
