Hotfoot Powder

Format : Import CD
Released : 17 April 2000 (UK); 2 May 2000 (US)
Label : Snapper (UK)


Most records take two or three listens before their charm starts to work. Hot Foot Powder takes a matter of seconds. As soon as peter Green's guitar kicks into 'I'm a steady rollin' man' you'll be hooked. Right now, a lot of the blues is sounding tired. For inspiration, Green, Nigel Watson and Splinter have gone back to one of the first recorded sources of the genre, Robert Johnson. Thirteen Johnson tracks are covered in this set. Guests include eveybody from Buddy Guy to Honeyboy Edwards an octogenarian who used to share the same stage as Johnson himself. A follow-up to their highly acclaimed Robert Johnson Songbook, Hot Foot powder is a beautiful record that will have the listener falling in love again with the blues for the first or hundredth time. Of course, Peter Green is a legend. He holds the same mythical status as Syd Barrett. The playing here is subtle, confident and overflowing with charisma. In short this is one of the finest blues albums of the last ten years. 4 1/2 stars out of 5 (Mitchell Peters, Time Off)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The former Fleetwood Mac guitarist continues to record and tour with the Splinter Group with Nigel Watson - the only other long time member. This CD is a tribute to the original blues master, Robert Johnson. Thirteen competently played and listenable tracks feature some excellent slide guitar and neat accoustic picking carried along by Green_s soft vocals. Guest appearances by Dr. John, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and other blues greats add to the appeal. "Hell Hound On My Trail" and "Malted Milk" have a slight Presley feel, making the album all the more enjoyable, despite its lack of any pace throughout. Sadly, there_s no "Sweet Home Chicago" or "Terraplane Blues", but most fans will be able to live with what_s on offer here. (Joe Geesin, Record Collector)



Peter Green plays these songs to perfection
Reviewer: Richard J. Orlando, March 19, 2003

The music on this collection puts to rest the idea that the blues is dreary and depressing...these songs are infused with a sense of joy...Green seems to be discovering these songs for the first time, his playing is stronger and his singing more relaxed than on any other Splinter Group release.
This is music for a laid back Sunday afternoon, it's pleasures lie in the complex interplay between the musicians...Otis Rush (a huge influence on Green) plays with rare subtletly on I'm A Steady Rolling Man and Little Queen of Spades. Buddy Guy helps to transform the over recorded Cross Road Blues bringing a more modern guitar sound while Green's vocals and arrangement bring it closer to it's roots - a highlight.
Although PGSG has already twice recorded Traveling Riverside Blues, they bring in slide master Joe Louis Walker and one of Robert Johnson's running buddies, Honey Boy Edwards to help out: Nigel takes the vocal, and Peter fills in some wonderful harmonica -
This is also the best sounding record the PGSG has released: the squeak of calloused fingertips on steel and nylon strings, the deep tone of the upright bass, steel brushes on drum heads, all cleanly captured,
The relaxation of the playing allows Green to deliver his vocals in an equally easy manner, resulting in his best vocals on a PGSG album.
Again, this is not music to clean the house to, this is music you drink deeply of and allow to refresh your spirit and soul.




Better than Robert Johnson songbook overall but short
Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant April 04, 2001

The sequel to the "Robert Johnson songbook" album does what a sequel should do which
is pick up where the first one left off and although shorter on running time and somewhat
bland listening on a complete sitting, this is a better album overall than the "Robert
Johnson songbook" although this disc doesn't have the stand out moments that album had,
it has some good high points like "Malted milk" and the classic nugget, the closing "Come
on in my kitchen". It's also interesting to listen to "Hell hound on my trail" next to
Jeremy's version from the dog and dustbin album (as it's often referred to) however, it's
hard not to mistake "I'm a steady rollin' man" & "Little queen of spades" for each other
as they both have an identical start and there's yet another version here of "Travelling
riverside blues" so hopefully Peter is now satisfied with his notion of covering Johnson
and will put pen to paper again very soon.
