Kolors, a 1983 release by
Peter Green, is not a bad record.
Peter seems more at ease with material by his older brother Mike Green than on
White Sky three years before.
Dave Mattacks of
Fairport Convention and
Reg Isidore of the
Robin Trower band share the drumming.
Peter plays with more passion than in a long time. "Big Bad Feeling" showcases some great slide guitar and hearkens back to Peter's glory days with
Fleetwood Mac. "Bandit," another in a long line of dreamy
Green instrumentals, features pan pipes! But, unlike Peter's great Mac tunes, Mike's songs are sometimes pedestrian -- after exploring "Indian Lover" on
White Sky, he offers "Black Woman" here. "Black Magic Woman" it ain't. The album's effectiveness is damaged by a long, pointless "Funky Jam" to close the record, as if they came up short of material. ~ Mark Allan
