After almost a decade of personal, drug-addled hell since his 1970
debut The End of the Game, Peter Green begins his comeback with In
the Skies, and a title tune that sounds downright hopeful compared
to where he left off. Although Green shares lead guitar work with
Snowy White, it's clear from his fluid technique and haunting tone
that he can still play. "A Fool No More" is the kind of slow blues
Green excels at. Robin Trower drummer Reg Isidore gives way on one
track to Godfrey McLean, who played on The End of the Game. Green
dips even farther back into his past, courtesy of keyboards by Pete
Bardens, who gave him his first professional music job in 1966 in a
band with Mick Fleetwood. Green's singing, never a particular
strength, is not a weakness here. Five of the nine songs are
instrumentals, continuing a longtime Green tradition. It's an
unambitious but solid and welcome return by a guitarist who in his
prime rivaled Eric Clapton. If that seems far-fetched, listen to A
Hard Road by John Mayall's Bluebreakers or Then Play On by
Fleetwood Mac. ~ Mark Allan
