 Greatest blues guitar solo ever? September 7, 2007
Ella Guru (UK)
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
A great album - primarily because of Peter Green's guitar playing. The Supernatural is clearly the precursor to Albatross but this album is special primarily because it contains the best recorded blues guitar solo ever on The Stumble. Amazing....not one note that doesn't take its place perfectly - and delivered with the easy skill of a true maestro. (Even BB King has paid tribute to Green's astonishing talent).

There's something about late 60s London that will always capture my imagination. Austin Powers aside, its an incredibly rich period in our cultural history that produced some remarkable pieces of music and film. This recording is right up there with other more famous examples. I've long wanted to pursue the early phase of Peter Green's recording career, after hearing a brief snatch of his guitar work many years back. I finally did some searching on Amazon and was pleased to find this re-release, which looked like an excellent sampler of his work with Mayall. I was not disappointed. Hard Road is a stone classic IMO and has that awesome British Blues sound that aficianados of this sound will recognise immediately. Do not hesitate to grab this if you are on the fence - it's worth every penny and based on this material Peter Green should be considered the equal of his considerably more famous colleague, Mr Eric Clapton.
More essential British Blues! November 26, 2007

Re-issued and expanded version of the follow-up to the "Beano" album, and every bit as good. Wonderful playing from 21 year old Peter Green in particular (listen to both Supernatural and The Stumble for proof). The whole band are as tight as the proverbial duck's ---!
Not all the material featuring Green is included here, because there was too much to get on to one cd; hence enthusiasts will find the rest (including Double Trouble and It Hurts Me Too) on the re-issued Crusade album, which incidentally is also an essential purchase.

First heard this as a LP in the 60's when I was young !! Bought it again and found it even better. The digital re-mnastering has worked wonders. John Mayall at his superb best. A great buy for a John Mayall fan or a blues fan.
Essential British blues July 13, 2009

"God"? I haven't heard him referred to as that since the early seventies. Clapton's o.k. if you want technical expertise but if you want soul and a true feeling for the blues that he's playing, it's got to be Greeny every time. The only thing that makes the Beano album superior to this is a better choice of songs (no, I don't rate Mayall's self-penned numbers so highly) but moments like The Supernatural make up for it and this CD is an essential precurser to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, surely the greatest of all the '60s British blues boom.
But ponder this: how much better would any of John Mayall's albums have been if he'd employed vocalists instead of taking on the task himself?
