But I did some resizing and moving, because the text was strangely misplaced, leaving a big empty gap at the top. Santana did a cover that was almost exactly the same except for the addition of more Latin percussion, and of course had big success with it.Ġ3. It was released as a single, but didn't do very well. I think the highlight is the song "Black Magic Woman," which was written by guitarist Peter Green. When it comes to compiling their 1969 stray tracks, I didn't include anything from that unreleased EP. The record company gave it a listen and deemed it so bad that they refused to include it. For instance, when Fleetwood Mac released their classic 1969 album "Then Play On," they wanted to include an EP containing nothing but Spencer's parodies. I'm sure it worked well in concert to have him liven things up from time to time with a rousing 1950s-styled song, but on record his style loses its appeal fast.Īs a result, I've included some of Spencer's stuff, but not that much. His original songs were often just earlier hits with new lyrics. The problem is, in my opinion, his parodies were very rarely funny or interesting enough for more than one listen. 
He'd do parodies of 1950s music, especially Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley, as well as slavish imitations of Elmore James blues songs. He had a weird role of being kind of the relief from having an audience listen to so many blues songs in a row. But my main problem is with band member Jeremy Spencer. One reason is that they did a lot of blues covers, and some of their versions are just pedestrian.
I must admit though, that when it comes to Fleetwood Mac's blues years, I'm not including every single song I can, for two reasons. Like the 1967 material, this is nearly all blues. But the band has so many stray tracks that more 1968 stuff will be on the next album too. The previous one covered the band's first year, 1967, so this one covers 1968.
