Peter Green / Fleetwood Mac - Book - by Martin Celmins
(2025)
Blues guitar great andFleetwood Mac founder, Peter Green, was an enigma
throughout his career. Hisinnovative songwriting and unmistakeable voice
shot Fleetwood Mac into themainstream in 1969 with ‘Albatross’, ‘Man of
the World’, and ‘Oh Well’. But inMay 1970, he turned his back on
stardom and quit the band.
Written by Green’s associate and
friend, this biography - firstpublished in 1995, now fully revised and
updated - challenges the acceptednarrative about why he left the band,
and what happened next. It tracks everystage of Green’s career, from his
semi-pro years playing bass to his rise tofame in John Mayall’s
Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac. It also takes a closerlook at Green’s
solo material and the personal trauma that saw him hit theheadlines.
This edition covers his return to the stage in 1996 with Peter
GreenSplinter Group and how his final band, Peter Green & Friends,
was formed. It also covers the last years of his life and includes
new, unseen photographs.
