Album Description
Mick Fleetwood, the iconic co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, is celebrating his blues heritage with his new band, The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band. As well as their own material, the band pays tribute to the original Fleetwood Mac, the all-male blues band that started it all in 1967. Bringing together four stellar Blues and Rock musicians, Mick Fleetwood presents a live album which is as current as it is nostalgic.

At the front of the group is Rick Vito, veteran Bluesman and former Fleetwood Mac vocalist and lead guitarist. Rick adds his personal touch while staying true to the styling of early Fleetwood Mac front man Peter Green. "A lot of guys can play the licks but Rick has the tone and that's so important in real blues," says Mick Fleetwood. With Fleetwood anchoring the band on percussion, the "other half" of the rhythm section is Lenny Castellanos on bass guitar. As Mick points out, "I've played with John McVie for 40 years, any bassist who plays with me has big shoes to fill." - Lenny does a great job filling those shoes while complimenting Mick's unique and revered drum style. Mark Johnstone ties everything together on the keys and backup vocals, infusing a vibrant energy to the group. The band is led, of course, by the legendary Mick Fleetwood, providing a backbone with his unmistakable power-house percussion and persona. The band pays tribute to the Mac's early days, when it drew heavily on American blues music and produced hits such as "Albatross," "Oh Well" and "Black Magic Woman" (which was covered by Santana).

Customer Reviews

Mick Fleetwood pays tribute to the early Mac sound
If you are a fan of the early Fleetwood Mac and the sounds of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwin, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, you must purchase this great CD! Recorded live and sounding like just like that early Mac live blues vibe, the material is outstanding. Rick Vito does some great Peter Green solos and his singing is very evocative of Peter's vocal stylings.

This CD should please all fans of British Blues. Again, it's a must own for fans of early Fleetwood Mac.

Welcome back!
Welcome back to the blues Mick Fleetwood its been a long time coming but well worth the wait, This album "Blue Again!" Blue Again! (Plus Bonus Disc)is very evocative of the early blues of Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac and is a must for all fans of their early albums. Mick has lost none of his magic and with his current band brings the memories flooding back. Long may he continue and please lets have more of "Mick Fleetwood Blues Band" Brilliant!!!!

Disappointing
I was really looking forward to getting this CD, but have to admit to some disappointment. While the band is tight enough and the playing very good technically, there is a certain lack of warmth and an element of "blues by numbers". Predictably the best tracks are the Fleetwood Mac covers, which are competently done, but add nothing to the originals, and I have to say that I got my old mac CDs out afterwards to hear the real thing.
The bonus CD is a complete waste of space containing 4 instrumentals which sound like they were knocked off during a fag break.
Overall, the impression is of a money making exercise rather than a true return to roots.
