Pious Bird of Good Omen

[sjtm]

This early Fleetwood Mac album was originally released in the UK. Pure British blues effort. Hard to see how they got from here to Rumours in only six years. This album has Peter Green's Black Magic Woman ( he wrote it) - an interesting comparison to Santana's later version. Eddie Boyd ( pianist for Buddy Guy) performs on two songs, and the Chicago Blues influence of Guy and Muddy Waters is very strong, although the distinctive sound of Peter Green and Danny Kirwan can still be heard on many cuts. Great but often overlooked album.
