However, the band would gain an extra dimension when Green brought aboard 19 year old Danny Kirwan as a second guitarist and songwriter. Marred by Spencer's indulgent Elmore James covers, still had enough of Green's material to be listenable and successful. A rollicking Blues album that showcased both Green and Spencer's talents, the album was an immediate hit and a followup, Mr Wonderful was recorded later. Together this lineup recorded and released a self titled debut album credited to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, a credit the shy Green detested.

However, Green, a formidable triple threat at guitar, vocals, and songwriting, was destined to go out on his own, and in late 1967, left Mayall to form Fleetwood Mac with fellow Bluesbreakers Mick Fleetwood and John McVie(though Bob Brunning acted as a temporary placeholder until McVie could be swayed into permanent leaving Mayall), and slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer. The majority of Green's material with Mayall can be heard on A Hard Road expanded edition.

Mayall quickly recorded a series of singles, and then the studio album A Hard Road with Green. Green immediately made the lead guitar spot his own by combining Clapton's classic British Blues style with a more traditional blues sound. Bio-After playing in local bands such as Peter B's Looners and Shotgun Express(featuring a young Rod Stewart), 20 year old Peter Green got the call to replace Eric Clapton in John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, after God had departed to form Cream.
