Fleetwood Mac's original leader authored the classics "Black Magic Woman" and "The Green Manalishi," and ranked as one of Britain's greatest blues guitarists. Yet Peter Green's entrance into rock mythology had as much to do with the way he stepped away from music for many years (following a 1971 cultish religious conversion) as the way he arrived in 1967, fronting the early Mac on legendary tracks such as "Love That Burns" and "Albatross," and giving Eric Clapton a run for his money. In 1978, he returned to action, releasing the excellent In the Skies, as well as Little Dreamer, Whatcha Gonna Do, and White Sky, from which this well-considered and annotated retrospective is drawn. The elegance, edge, and astute phrasing of his guitar propels blues numbers "White Sky," "A Fool No More," and "Slabo Day," while his soulful, grainy, weary vocals on radio singles "Loser Two Times" and "The Clown" recall the Clapton of 461 Ocean Boulevard. --James Rotondi
