Peter Green Splinter Group - The Best Of Peter Green Splinter Group (2002) {2004, Reissue}

Peter Green is one of the best guitarists of his generation and after a period in the wilderness he re-emerged in 1997 to critical acclaim with the Splinter Group. The material Peter Green recorded with the Splinter Group on five albums for Snapper Music represents a true return to form for the ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist, including the W.C. Handy award winning album The Robert Johnson Songbook. This new vitality was confirmed on the classic limited edition double live album Soho Session (sold out week one), recorded at the world-famous Ronnie Scott's club. Then his first original material since the early '80s was presented on Destiny Road, produced by Cream lyricist Pete Brown. In 2000, Peter Green released the second instalment of the Robert Johnson songbook Hotfoot Powder, boasting guest appearances from Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Dr John, Hubert Sumlin, Joe Louis Walker and Honeyboy Edwards. The 15 tracks on The Best Of The Peter Green Splinter Group, comprising the best material from the five Splinter Group albums, provide the perfect reintroduction to the man who has inspired a generation of guitarists and blues lovers alike. In addition to the 15 tracks highlighting the best of Peter Green's renaissance, the package includes a special bonus disc revisiting five classic tracks from Green's early career.
