Oh Well (Pt. 1) - Fleetwood Mac

Oh Well (Pt. 1) - Fleetwood Mac
3:24
Then Play On, 1969
Written by Peter Green

An early example of blues mixing with some folk elements, going electric, and inching its way toward hard rock.  Its a capella vocals coming in between guitar parts is very reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog."  The lyrics are tongue in cheek,; probably not much thought went into them, though one part does remind me of Manfred Mann's "Don't Ask Me What I Say": "But don't ask me what I think of you / I might not give the answer that you want me to."
