Blues Don't Change is an album by the British blues band the Peter Green Splinter Group, led by Peter Green. Originally released in 2001 and only available at concerts or via the band's official website,^[1] this was their seventh album. It was later given a full release on 3 April 2006, and again in 2012. Green was the founder of Fleetwood Mac and a member of that group from 1967 to 1970, before a sporadic solo career during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The opening track, "I Believe My Time Ain't Long", is a variation on the Robert Johnson song "Dust My Broom". Green had first recorded the track with Fleetwood Mac in 1967 (variously credited to Elmore James or Jeremy Spencer), and it had been released as the band's first single.^[2]
