After 1979 and 1980 albums by Peter Green were by turns bluesy and funky, White Sky from 1981 emphasizes rock. Maybe this is because all the songs are written by his older brother Mike Green, who sings on the title track. Mike's material doesn't quite work for Peter, who sounds ill at ease singing &Born on the Wild Side.& And they could not in subsequent years get away with lyrics like &I'm your Indian lover and you're my squaw& from &Indian Lover.& Drummer Reg Isidore of the Robin Trower band continues his collaboration with Green. After the preceding two albums were produced by Peter Vernon-Kell, Peter Green produced this one with Geoff Robinson. For the second straight album, he ends with a long, dreamy instrumental.
