Kolors [Bonus Tracks] [Remaster]

Performer: Peter Green
Distributor: BMG (distributor)

Notes: Personnel: Peter Green (vocals, guitar); Gus Isidore (guitar); Greg Browne (bass guitar); Reggie Isidore (drums). Liner Note Author: Jet Martin Celmins. Arranger: P.A. Green. 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 Kolors, a 1983 release by Peter Green, is not a bad record.

In 2005, Sanctuary reissued the album on CD and included six bonus cuts. The highlights here are the singles versions of "Apostle," "Six String Guitar," and the killer "Robbing My Eyes." ~ Mark Allan and Thom Jurek

Although Fleetwood Mac is best known for the mellow rock of RUMORS and TUSK, the quintessential '70s L.A. band started out as a British blues-rock powerhouse led by guitar genius Peter Green. After a stint in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Green formed Fleetwood Mac with the sidemen of the title, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After a mere three albums of quintessential Brit blues, Green left to explore the darker regions of LSD culture. Though he returned to music in the '70s, and continued to record and tour sporadically into the '90s, it's been said by many that Green never really came back from those trips. Nonetheless, Peter Green is known to this day for having perhaps the most sweet and supple tone of any blues guitarist, British or otherwise.
