Time Traders is an album by the British blues band the Peter Green Splinter Group, led by Peter Green. Released in 2001, this was their sixth album. Green was the founder of Fleetwood Mac and a member of that group from 1967–70, before a sporadic solo career during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Contents

Time Traders marked a departure from the group's prior recordings of Robert Johnson songs, and the tracks on this album were all original compositions by the band members, including two by Green that had been originally recorded three decades previously. "Underway" was an instrumental track from Fleetwood Mac's 1969 album, Then Play On , and "Uganda Woman" was the b-side of a single that Green and his Splinter Group colleague Nigel Watson had released in January 1972. "Underway" features Snowy White on guitar; White had previously performed on Green's In the Skies album in 1979. [2]
