| | Green Eyed Radio is a richly textured collection of songs that move the listener from tender introspection of Send Me The Love to rocking guitar riffs on Suzannah and The Onion. | | | EVERY track on this CD is a "masterpiece"...like the description says, Peter's music (and this CD in particular) touches the soul. | | | This album was Peter Mayer's first solo project, originally released in 1996 and is now proudly rereleased on the Little Flock Music label. |

| | Yahoo! Music: Peter Green (British) Biography |
| | Peter Allen Greenbaum, 29 October 1946, Bethnal Green, London, England. | | | Further albums have followed in a short time demonstrating clearly that Green and his Splinter Group are serious about their music, and in particular Green's rediscovery of his pure blues roots. | | | The seeds of Green's own band were sown during several sessions without Mayall and a Bluesbreakers "solo" single, "Curly", was released in March 1967. |

| | Peter Green |
| | One of the more notorious near-casualties of the music world, Peter Green managed to avoid entirely self-immolating in the manner of Jimi Hendrix or becoming permanently imparied as did Syd Barrett, but he came quite close to meeting one of these fates on a number of occasions. | | | The band made steady progress recording and touring, but by the time of their third album Green's state of mind began to disintegrate. | | | Through the support of his family such drastic consequences were averted, however, and Green even managed some sporadic musical activity in the first half of the 80s. |

| | Peter signed Renee’s CD, KE Gil’s book and CD, and a couple of CDs for me (interestingly, "Green" on my old BBC CD, and "Greenbaum" on the new Splinter CD). | | | Peter’s singing is “spot-on.” No, this is not the singing of Peter’s yesteryear; this is Peter Green now, in the moment, just as he always was. | | | Peter's tour date down in San Diego was at an annual street musical festival called Street Scene, where many musical acts occupy about 10 stages for sets between an hour and 90 minutes, over a three day period. |

| | The musicians were not considered as mere backing bands for the singer, as often was the case with the American Blues artists. | | | Further hit singles 'Oh Well' and 'Green Manalishi', with their melancholic lyrics pointed the way to Peter Green's departure. | | | Beck later admitted that they were "grappling with an abysmal lack of decent material." The band broke up after one self titled album. |

| | As the '70s progressed, Peter Green retired completely from music (he released an unmemorable solo album in 1970), and then from life entirely. | | | The name Peter Green still means a lot to anyone who has ever enjoyed the sound and feel of an electric guitar. | | | The band released fine album sand a few hit singles, such as 1969's "Albatross," a languid ballad whose fat, reverby guitar tones were copped by the Beatles for several tracks on Abbey Road. |

| | With these musicians, Bare Wires, released in 1968, was a million miles away from the Chicago Blues; the second Bluesbreakers albums that was entirely written by John, more 'progressive' as the jargon of the time put it and a musical recognition that the regular Bluesbreakers format had gone stale. | | | His father was a keen amateur dance band musician with a good jazz record collection, by 1945 even before reaching his teens, he has become an enthusiastic guitarist and started to learn the piano, John gravitated towards the blues and built up a substantial collection of records. | | | Tiring of the Bluesbreakers format, Peter Green left that May. He quickly formed Fleetwood Mac with Mick Fleetwood, tempting John McVie from the Bluesbreakers in the September, but not before McVie had played on John's next album Crusade, featuring the baby-faced Mick Taylor, at that time only 18 years old. |

| | The religion of Peter Green, rock musician |
| | None of their songs charted in the States when they were released (although 1977's "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" did make the British Top 40) but their sped-up, dumbed-down rock songs defined punk as we know it. | | | Which is fitting, because the Ramones were to punk something like what Simon and Garfunkel were to sixties folk-rock: They weren't necessarily the first, and they weren't necessarily the best, but they stamped their name on their genre way few others ever could. | | | Peter Green was born Jeffrey Hymen in Forrest Hills, Queens, which was somewhat of a breeding ground for Jewish rock stars; both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel grew up there. |
