Bad For You Baby

by: Gary Moore

Release Date September 22, 2008
If you like Moore, then here is the latest to add to your collection. It's pretty formula stuff - great blues rock - some boogie, some a bit heavier, and of course wonderful long ballards with superb guitar wizardy, delivered only how Moore can.

I won't go through track for track, because if your a fan you will get the drift, this is simply more and more of what Gary does best. A couple of noticeable mentions though. How about the 10 minute long "I Love You More Than You'll ever Know" epic? Sheer class over and over again, and "Mojo Boogie" whioch is foot tapping stonkingly good and subtle tones of Quo! Another track has some welcome female backing vocals, which adds some extra to the album.

All in all another Moore ... Read More:

Still Got the Blues: Remastered

by: Gary Moore

Release Date May 12, 2003
Blues music enjoyed a mini-revival in the late 1980s owing to both the film 'Crossroads', and the dissatisfaction of a sizeable minority with contemporaneous popular music. Gary Moore, hitherto a performer of hard rock/heavy metal, exploited the mood with this motley collection of blues pastiches and hard rock songs. 'The blues' are, for the most part, transmogrified into 'the blands' - the raw, visceral nature of blues music is expunged, and a smooth, over-produced sound offered in its place.

The vocals of Gary Moore lack the passion, intensity and emotiveness of a blues performer, and the drone of his guitar suggests that he is more at home with his 1980s metal counterparts. The title track, the antithesis of blues music, epitomises ... Read More:

The Platinum Collection

by: Gary Moore

Release Date September 04, 2006
i have always loved gary moore. His guitar playing is out of this world. This is a great collection of his work, if you just want a best of, you will not go wrong with this one. Shame it did not include victims of the future, but all in all a great collection. I have never forgot seeing gary moore in 1985 on the run for cover tour, hammersmith odeon 28/9/85. To top the icing on the cake, phil lynott came out for the encore, and played out in the fields, and parisienne walkways with him. It was the one and only time that i saw phil lynott before he died, god bless him, gone but certainly not forgotten.

Blues Alive

by: Gary Moore

Release Date May 10, 1993
People who are indifferent about Blues music need not apply. For everyone else this album (along with others Moore has done) really rewrites the rules for blues guitarists and fans of such everywhere. I reckon Gary Moore ranks in the top five guitar players in the world EVER, and I would rather listen to this virtuoso irishman than Eric Clapton any day.

If you met somebody who had no idea what Blues music sounds like and they ask you to give them a taster, you could do no better than to play them 'The Sky Is Crying' or 'Jumping At Shadows' from this CD.

A word of warning though. Only invest in this CD (which comprises entirely of live material recorded at various concert venues), if you like your guitar players loud fast and full on. If you cut your ... Read More:

Wild Frontier: Remastered

by: Gary Moore

Release Date April 28, 2003
This is another milestone in Moore's rock solid history. Throughout his career he has chopped and changed genres frequently making him such an exiting guitarist.

This is one such episode where the obvious celtic feel is prominent reflecting his mood from revisiting his native ireland and the untimely death of the great Phil Lynott.

The Wild Frontier Track was originally written for Phil Lynott to share vocals which sadly never came about, Over the Hills is a very clever well put together song and probably the only that that stood upto and warranted the over-production. Wait a little time has 'Billy Idol' stamped all over it (Moore made no secret of admiring him at the time). The loner is an instrumental which liked by Many but too tame for Moore. Friday ...

Ballads and Blues 1982-1994

by: Gary Moore

Release Date November 14, 1994
Anyone who believes Gary Moore to be a rocker should listen to this album. The bitter sweet blend of ballads and blues are brought together masterfully by this consumate guitarist. The beauty of " Still Got The Blues For You" introduces us to the possibly, undiscovered talent of this guy. The version of "Parisian Walkways" on this album is the best I have ever heard. No wife walking out, no lost dog, but pure, pure blues. This album delivers it all, great ballads, great blues. Buy it.

After Hours: Remastered

by: Gary Moore

Release Date May 12, 2003
This is Still Got The Blues part 2. The quality of songs isn't quite up to its illustrious partner but the guitar is still scintillating. That isn't to say the songs are bad, far from it. Story Of The Blues has a solo to equal Gary's (and ANYONE else's) best. Worth the entrance price alone! The second and last of Gary's rocked-up blues albums. Brilliant stuff.

Blues for Greeny: Remastered

by: Gary Moore

Release Date May 12, 2003
Well as anybody must know by now, GM loves Greeny, and you can tell from listening to this disc that he has poured his heart and soul into his playing. Fantastic, much better than his heavier metal playing of earlier years. Can't recommend this one enough.

Around the Next Dream: Remastered

by: Gary Moore

Release Date May 12, 2003
Only one thing spoils this album and that is Gary Moore's blues singing. Either it's a ghastly fake american accent or what Belfast sounds like when you try to sing the blues but I suspect the former. When Moore sings his ballads, which are in his higher register, he is not at all bad, even pretty good I have to say (amazingly he sounds almost indistinguishable from Bruce on 'Glory Days') but he really is a terrible blues singer. It's a great pity that he didn't let Bruce sing them and then I could be quite enthusiastic about the whole thing.
On the positive side we have 3 strong numbers which could be on Cream's 'Wheels Of Fire' and come out of the same creative mould as 'White Room','Those Were The Days','Deserted Cities Of The Heart' and 'We're Going Wrong'. They are so close that they ... Read More:

The Best of the Blues

by: Gary Moore

Release Date February 04, 2002
This is a superior "best of" album, and you should get it for the bonus Live disc 2, capturing Gary on the Still Got the Blues and After Hours tours in the early 90s.

The live disc features a tremendous performance of Stormy Monday with Albert King, and the performances of Texas Strut, Moving On, Still Got the Blues and Midnight Blues are superior to the original album versions.

Great album
