The Clown (2000)

"This CD, like many of Peter Green's post Fleetwood Mac works, is so obscure that many old FM fans are unaware that Green is playing and recording again. I was surprised to discover that it was recorded in 1977 with distinguished musicians like Robin Trower's drummer Reg Isadore and Camel's Peter Bardens on keyboards. Why was it not promoted? The reason perhaps is that the title cut is such a contaminant that its acrid stench is hard to separate from the rest of the music, some of which is quite good. Indeed, it is the only song that really stinks. My favorites are the instrumental cuts Proud Pinto, Bandit, and the galloping Tribal Dance. I also enjoy In the Skies, Last Train to San Antone, Momma Don't Cha Cry, and the obsessed Black Woman. Those left unmentioned aren't bad, just unremarkable." (Amazon)
