To many this record marks the beginning of Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and meets John McVie - (Mac).A Hard Road was the first album and points the way to the first blues laden Mac albums. John Mayall being suitably pissed off when Green took McVie away and he lost his secondary guitarist in two years. It was to happen again when he would lose Mick Taylor to the Stones two years later.
Similar but different to Mayall's earlier album it is dominated by Green's guitar lyrical work and occasional soulful singing. More originals than the earlier Bluesbreakers with Green contributing two. Highlights to me are Green's The Supernatural and Skip James' Dust My Broom.
Here's the whole album - enjoy!
