Crazy About the Blues

Crazy About the Blues is a window into a version of Fleetwood Mac that feels entirely disconnected from the stadium-filling pop juggernaut they would eventually become. This is the sound of the 'Green God' era: a period defined by Peter Green’s otherworldly guitar tone, which B.B. King famously claimed was the only one that gave him the cold sweats. The album captures the band when they were the premier purveyors of British blues, blending the grit of Chicago’s South Side with a uniquely English sense of pastoral melancholy. It sounds like a dimly lit London club in 1968, heavy with the scent of stale tobacco and the hum of overdriven tube amplifiers.
