So did Peter's time with the Blues Breakers (harp content=Mayall) come
before that Fleetwood Mac album with Shake Yo' MoneyMaker or after that?
I've heard some cynics (who never played a lick of anything) object that
that stuff waxed "cartoonish", but I don't share that perception of that
music. I always !!loved!! It!!

Peter Green did the harp playing in the early Fleetwood Mac days. He liked
to do a lot of wah wah type playing. Worked for me. I always loved that 3
guitar players could be in the same band and not step on each other's
toes.

Recently I discovered that Fleetwood Mac started as a blues band,. And
a really good one too.
I don't know who played harmonica, but unlike almost all '60s British
outfits, the harmonica sounds great. Simple, sparse, influenced by
Howling Wolf I would guess. I think that Peter Green is on harmonica,
as well as impeccable blues guitar.
Dig this stuff up, its worth a listen. Interesting to hear how hard
they try to sound like Elmore James. The rhythm section is OK as well...
