\n\tThe estate of legendary British blues rock guitarist Peter Green<\/strong> has finalized a deal with Primary Wave Music, transferring ownership of his Rattlesnake music publishing catalog, rights to all his compositions, and select recordings by the Fleetwood Mac<\/a> co-founder. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\n\tYears before they were soft-rocking themselves to superstardom with the help of two young Californians \u2014 one of whom is also part<\/a> of the Primary Wave family \u2014 Fleetwood Mac was a hard-charging British blues rock band led by Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, and featuring another talented singer-guitarist, Jeremy Spencer.<\/p>\n

\n\tWithin just two years, this lineup released three studio albums and a string of non-album singles \u2014 many penned by Green \u2014 that would go on to define the psychedelic blues genre. Those Green gems include the dreamy instrumental \u201cAlbatross,\u201d the hard-stomping \u201cOh Well\u201d and the delicately poignant \u201cMan of the World.\u201d Green is also responsible for \u201cBlack Magic Woman,\u201d which appeared on one of the group\u2019s compilation albums in 1969 before becoming a major hit for Santana a year later.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring Green\u2019s tenure, the band released three studio albums: their self-titled debut and Mr. Wonderful<\/em> in 1968, followed by Then Play On<\/em> in 1969. Standout tracks from Green on those releases include \u201cLooking for Somebody,\u201d \u201cLong Grey Mere,\u201d \u201cRollin\u2019 Man\u201d and \u201cLove That Burns.\u201d His final song with the band, the non-album single \u201cThe Green Manalishi,\u201d reached the top 10 on the UK charts.<\/p>\n

\n\tBorn in London in 1946, Green began his career with John Mayall\u2019s Bluesbreakers, replacing Eric Clapton for the band\u2019s 1967 album A Hard Road<\/em><\/a>, which featured two of his songs. That same year he and fellow ex-Bluesbreakers Fleetwood and McVie formed Fleetwood Mac. They later added Spencer and, towards the end of the sixties, a third guitarist Danny Kirwan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
