Peter Green Splinter Group is an album by the British blues band of the same name, led by Peter Green. Released in 1997, this was their first album, and essentially the comeback album for Green, who had been out of the music business for around 10 years. Green was the founder of Fleetwood Mac and a member of that group from 1967–70, before a sporadic solo career during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946) is an English blues rock singer-songwriter and guitarist. As a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Green's songs, such as "Albatross", "Black Magic Woman", "Oh Well", "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" and "Man of the World", appeared on singles charts, and several have been adapted by a variety of musicians.

1990's Still Got The Blues album was an abrupt and risky game-changer that reignited the tradition of blistering British blues guitar. After that we became friends and he persuaded his manager Clifford Davis to sign Skid Row. Thin Lizzy in 1974: Brian Downey, Phil Lynott and Gary Moore. He even recorded a complete album of Peter Green compositions, Blues For Greeny, released in 1995. He won one and lost the other, although there was a feeling that he was on a hiding to nowhere by having to face a case brought by German musicians in a German court. Another case was brought by guitarist Ronnie Montrose, alleging that one of the Les Pauls used by Moore on the album had actually been stolen off the stage in 1972. Jurisdictional issues got that case thrown out. And what of the famous Les Paul?

Eagle Rock just released Peter Green Splinter Group's Blues Don't Change. Considered by many to be the best white blues guitarist ever, according to Fleetwood Mac’s John McVie, Green’s indelible imprint on Blues Don’t Change proves how true the title of this album is. The spirit and soul of these anthems initially inspired Peter Green and the Splinter Group members to play the blues, and encouraged them to record this 11-track album for a new generation of blues fans.

Peter Green – In the Skies back. LSD took its toll on a number of great musicians in the 60s. The best example is Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett who crashed and burned after a single album, leaving the band without the lead singer, guitar player and song writer. A similar fate awaited the members of Fleetwood Mac, after Peter Green started consuming large amounts of the substance. Unlike Syd Barrett, Peter Green was able to make a short but great comeback with the album In The Skies in 1979. Snowy White, no slouch when it comes to guitar playing, is on rhythm guitar here. Yes, I& packed up my clothes.

Gary Moore's tribute to Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green, Blues for Greeny, is more of a showcase for Moore's skills than Green's songwriting. After all, Green was more famous for his technique than his writing. Consequently, Moore uses Green's songs as a starting point, taking them into new territory with his own style. And Moore positively burns throughout Blues for Greeny, tearing off licks with ferocious intensity

When in his prime, Peter Green was hands down one of the best bluesmen Britain has given us. He combined solid songwriting that blended blues with psychedelia while being an exceptional guitarist. Oh, he also was one of the most emotional guitar players the blues world has ever seen. BB King once stated that Green’s guitar tone was the sweetest he had heard and made him sweat. Not bad for a wasted potential. Many times, tribute albums seem to disappoint as they suffer from lack of character and sound like watered down versions of original material. This is not the case with this album though, as Gary Moore does a terrific job of adding his personal touch to some already excellent songs.
