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.
