5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute masterpiece, Sep 26 2003

By

Colin Hadden (Sydney, Oz) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rattlesnake Guitar: Music Of (Audio CD)

This was playing when I went into a store. Being a blues nut I had to check it out and when I saw what it was I took it home.

Repeated playings have not dimmed it. This album is a true masterpiece. Different from Peter Green but that is what they set out to achieve. Whether it is "better" you can't really say but it is one of the best blues compilations I have ever heard (along with Chess Blues and the Alligator Records Anniversary packs.

Buy it and you'll be amazed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of The Tribute CD's!, Mar 30 2001

By

deepbluereview "deepbluereview" (SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rattlesnake Guitar: Music Of (Audio CD)

I don't usually buy tribute CD's but have made an occassional exception or two. Until I obtained this CD, the best tribute CD in my collection was "You're Gonna Miss Me When I am Dead and Gone" the tribute to Muddy Waters by the Muddy Waters Band.

This CD has now moved ahead of the pack and given the diversity of musicians on this CD, that was no easy feat. Unlike the Muddy tribute which features one band doing all of the songs, this CD features as many as 40 different musicians playing their own version of some of these great songs without simply attempting to copy Green's style. I think its safe to say, that having 40 plus musicians participating on one tribute CD could be a receipe for disaster. However, in this case it worked.

There are 29 songs on this double CD and it is not easy to pick one over the others. However, in my opinion, Clas Yngstrom's interpretation of "The Supernatural" is nothing short of fantastic. Also, as a big Rory Gallagher fan, I was particularly pleased with his two songs "Leaving Town Blues" and "Showbiz Blues" which are not going to be found anywhere else.

All in all, there is more than enough on this CD to please even the most jaded fan. If this CD doesn't do it for you, check your pulse, you may well be dead!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful Compilation, Dec 3 2000

Kurt Harding "bon vivant" (Boerne TX) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Rattlesnake Guitar: Music Of (Audio CD)

Too many "tribute" albums turn out to be disappointments because "name" musicians are often hastily assembled and pressed to crank out material with which they have little or no experience and expertise. On Rattlesnake Guitar, there is a wide array of musicians from across the musical spectrum, but these play the songs as if they'd been together for years. Different musicians offer their own interpetations of Green's music rather than trying to replicate it. And some tremendous interpretations there are here! Though I generally like the whole album, I think the standout is "Love That Burns", a wailing, bluesy rendition of a great song that will have you hitting the repeat button again and again. Other outstanding covers are Black Magic Woman, I Loved Another Woman, Oh Well, A Fool No More, and If You'll Be My Baby. Ian Anderson does a great job with a poignant rendition of Man of the World. I had heard all these songs before and it took me a few listens to warm to some of these versions, but if you like Peter Green as much as these guys apparently do, you will find this a powerful compilation of some of his best and one that is well worth owning.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment. Not worth the money.
I have almost all of these songs in the original and I was really disappointed in the renditions by these musicians. Maybe it's just that Green was so good. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic blues revived!
For any guitarfreak, -or anybody who's a bit familiar with Peter Allen Greenbaum, this album is probably the closest thing to a definitive "must have". Read more
