#DannyKirwan was one of the best British blues guitarists going.
Had he not been in the same band as #PeterGreen, in #FleetwoodMac, who was absolutely THE BEST, Kirwan would have been so much more revered.
I chose this song, WORLD'S IN A TANGLE, because it is in a tangle. 😄

A black and white photograph of Fleetwood Mac guitarist, Danny Kirwan, playing a sunburst Les Paul guitar. Photographed against a wall of Fender amplifiers from a low angle.
Peter Green’s support of #dannykirwan backfired. Not only did the band drive him to mental illness but, by getting him to write his own lyrics and sing them, his songs were critically weakened. Most contain the ghosts of far greater songs. His without words or those of others are so strong. #blues 🧵
And since we're on the subject, this is one of my 2 favorite post-Green, pre-Buckingham/Nicks #FleetwoodMac songs. Peter's protege #DannyKirwan wrote it (I think) and is playing lead guitar here. I don't think it was ever on an album--just the B-side of a 45. And there's #ChristineMcVie.

Now THIS is #FleetwoodMac !

If you are a "blues fan", then #FleetwoodMac mark 1, the early incarnation of the band with #PeterGreen & #DannyKirwan sharing the guitar duties, is the "Mac for you".
GREEN MANALISHI is the one song from the early Mac which is anything but straight ahead blues rock.
It's an "interesting tangent".
Needs to be more info on Danny. #Dannykirwan www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpFb...
Lastly, here's Fleetwood Mac, live at BBC's Monster Music Mash, 1969, performing the classic "Oh Well". Fiery lead guitar by Danny Kirwan, lead vocals and second guitar by the late, great Peter Green.

Here's one of the only live videos of Danny tearing it up on lead guitar. This is #FleetwoodMac, live in Oslo, NO, 1969, performing "Like It This Way", and (for those who don't know) Danny is also the singer on this one.

Fleetwood Mac, w/Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch, live at the Beat Club, Bremen, 1971, performing the haunting and beautiful "Dragonfly".
Danny was never as famous as Peter Green, but Danny deserves a place in the pantheon of guitar greats.

"Sunny Side of Heaven" written by the late, great Danny Kirwan, from the 1972 Fleetwood Mac album, Bare Trees.
Danny could write and play some shockingly beautiful songs, and this is one of them 👍

Fleetwood Mac KILN HOUSE. The last recording to feature Jeremy Spencer.
This is the rock

Can you tell me when we’re leaving?
A bit of a tentative start after losing Peter Green. Danny Kirwan shines here at times and I think Jeremy Spencer offers more variety than the Elmore James-isms on earlier LPs. Christine hovers.
