Fleetwood Mac Mr. Wonderful CD

 Beware, No flakey pop tunes included!!!
If you are a devotee of the Buckingham/ Nicks brand of carfully crafted dreamscape fluff, you maybe quite disenchanted. Peter Green's Mac is a stripped down Blues venture. 'Mr. Wonderful' has more in common with 'Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues' then 'Rumors'(as stark a contrast as Jefferson Airplane vs. Starship!). 'Mr. Wonderful' is a must have for those who appriciate bare bones, gritty Blues based Rock.

 Original Fleetwood Mac at the top of their game.
I agree with allmodcon's review. I, for one, was never fond of the later top forty, poppy sounding Fleetwood Mac. Obviously, a lot of people were. But, as william's review shows, people who liked the later version of Fleetwood Mac's sound are, for the most part, not afficianados of blues-rock. For those who are lovers of blues-rock, Fleetwood Mac recordings from this era are excellent examples of the genre. Oh, and by the way, Peter Green is not a rock and roll dropout. He's a songwriter and extraordinairy guitarist who suffered from some very bad metal health issues. Thankfully, and against some tall odds, he is once again recording and performing the music he loves so much. I saw him perform recently in Las Vegas and thoroughly enjoyed the concert.

 Not So Fast
Leave it to some blues purist to cry and moan while comparing two completely different bands. Peter Green is a rock and roll dropout while Ms. Stevie Sicks has been enchanting audiences for over 3 decades, while writing some of the most enduring hits of all time. Long live the Mystic Lady!
