🎼29 October 1946. Peter Green was born Peter Allen Greenbaum in London, UK: today he would turn 75 but he left this world in 2020 🤷‍♂️.
#PeterGreen was one of the most appreciated and influential rock blues #guitarist 🎸and songwriters of his generation (1960s-1970s), first replacing #EricClapton in the John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and later as founder and leader of Fleetwood Mac.
He left #FleetwoodMac in 1970 after writing and contributing to iconic songs on the band's first 3 albums. He started a solo career, but he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and soon was marginalized within the music business 😔
In 1977, Green was arrested for threatening his accountant David Simmons with a shotgun, in attempt to stop Simmons to send him money and royalties: Green apparently didn't want to live on his music, which for him had to remain just form of art!

🎼 I may sound like a fanboy... and probably sometimes I am 😁 But everytime Deep Purple release something new I feel they are always a bit upper...
even when they choose the songs to cover!
Here's their new single, a #FleetwoodMac number, #PeterGreen era 🤟🎸
