AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Peter Green tentatively returned to performing and recording in 1996, and The Peter Green Splinter Group is the first fruits of that comeback. The very fact that Green is performing again is encouraging, but the album sadly falls short of high expectations. A collection of blues covers, the record is filled with standards like "Going Down" and "Dark End of the Street," delivered professionally and without much flair. Green himself plays competently, but there are only a handful of times where his playing is unexpected and inspired. That might seem like a disappointment, but it's reassuring to have any flashes of brilliance, and they suggest that he could record a full-fledged return to form if given some time. - Thom Owens

Great energy on the classics helps the comeback effort
Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant April 01, 2001

Peter's 90's comeback is with mixed results but there's some great run throughs here to
recommend this set like the always great Otis Rush classic "Homework", Green's
entertaining reworking of Freddie King's "The stumble" which you may remember him
doing with John Mayall on the "A hard road" album and the best part is the closer which is
a energy ridden version of the nugget "Going down". This is an unusual live set in that it
starts off with two studio recordings which are Robert Johnson covers "Hitch hiking
woman" & "Traveling riverside blues". Many of the guitar solos are not by Peter but by
Nigel Watson as are some of the lead vocals but you can still hear some great Greenisms
here if you listen close and with some of the earlier favorites mentioned, I can safely say
that this is one of the better places to start on investigating Peter's new Splinter group
recordings.
