Without You

This month, we lost one of the greats of British blues music. Peter Green was such a special player, who, like the American bluesmen he with a commemorative double cover – one bidding farewell to Green, the other bearing the feature that we originally intended to grace the cover, on the late, great Paul Kossoff, marking the 50th anniversary of Free’s breakthrough album . Both players remain models of tasteful, make-every-note-count playing and it was gratifying – if tantalising – to learn that they nearly began a joint project together before Kossoff’s untimely death in 1976 (see feature, page 60).
