Well...here is one of my best pals and fellow musical conspirator, vocalist Earl Green.
After recording and touring with Otis Grand, he put together his own touring group and proceeded to start recordings for his first solo album, 'Feel The Fire'. At the same time he continued to be part of The O T Band and we contributed 3 of the cuts included herein.
He received some great reviews at the time and won 'Blues Vocalist Of The Year' in the British Blues Awards of 1996.
The album has some of the UKs finest Blues players including 6 guitarists and some great horns. USA blues legend/guitarist Joe Louis Walker appears as guest on 2 tracks. Other guests include Todd Sharpville, Roger 'Mad Dog' Cohen and Pete Boss - Guitars, Lee Sankey - Harmonica, Steve Washington - Drums, Andy Cooper - Organ, Alex Garnett - Tenor Sax, Noel Norris - Trumpet and others. A full list is included in the scans for each track.
As Earl is now suffering with serious health issues and is unlikely to be touring or recording in the future it prompted me to post this album so you guys can hear his unique and soulful voice.
He can be heard on other recordings with Otis Grand, Paul Lamb & The King Snakes, John T-Bone Taylor's Bop Brothers, Sonny Black. The Right Time, the album 'From Clarkesdale To Heaven - Remembering John Lee Hooker' (with Jeff Beck providing the guitar !), 2 further solo albums and as guest on many others.

It's a guitar fest ! I had some input here re : What came next in the song selection etc and insisted Version 2 of 'Turn My World Around' be included as Pete plays like a demon and I just love his emotive playing - Judge for yourselves. And enjoy
