| I bought this after buying Bad for You Baby and was kind of disappointed. It's got some good songs and I especially like the steel guitar work on track 9, but many of the songs are average and forgettable to me. |

This is a truly great album. Belfast-born Gary Moore has excelled even himself with this assorted collection of new tunes and old blues classics. Perhaps one of the most underrated of today's guitarists, this album is a superb display of Gary's talents, both in terms of technical brilliance and his incredible 'feel' for blues guitar. The covers of John Mayall's "Have You Heard" (About My Baby), Son House's "Sundown" and Leroy Carr's (In the) "Evenin'" are particular stand-outs.
If you're a blues fan of good taste and particularly if you don't know Gary Moore, buy this CD and you will thoroughly enjoy it. |

 British Isles?

| Produced by the British Isles? He's an Irishman and probably as insulted as I am at this slight... |

I wish there was a 1/2 star rating because this CD deserves a two and half star rating instead of a three star one. Moore is one of the best blues players out there. As he proved on Still Got the Blues, he can play the Texas blues like he shared mother's milk with the Vaughn brothers (Stevie Ray and big brother Jimmie, co-founder of the Fabulous Thunderbirds).
I'm not looking for everything to be Still Got the Blues or Parisienne Walkways, but I do like inventiveness, freshness in the sound. Moore has left his delicacy behind for chunking power chords without any of the kind of finesse he's capable of. Check out Scars. An album full of power and rockers, but amazingly inventive.
This album has a somewhat stale feel. I love Moore, and wish more people knew who he was, but this is not his best effort by any stretch, and bringing in former Thin Lizzy drummer and band mate, Brian Downey, didn't to much to invigorate the album, either.
It's really a pity. |
