Your cart is empty.
Your cart is empty.British Blues. Au début des années 90, à l'orée de sa grande période blues, Moore jurait qu'il ne jouerait désormais plus jamais une autre forme de musique que celle-là. Il ne tint pas promesse et fit récemment un détour douteux vers un hard FM vaguement pop qui ne convainquit personne. Pas idiot, l'Irlandais s'est rendu compte de sa bévue et en est revenu, comme on dit au ru'by, aux fondamentaux. Retour au bon vieux blues donc, de la même veine que Still Got The Blues en 90, avec une pochette en écho, et toujours autant de réussite. Pas de doute, c'est là son langage de prédilection, et comme il est le dernier représentant du bon vieux british blues, façon Peter Green et consorts, avec en prime sa rogne personnelle, son disque n'en est que plus délectable. - 10 titres, 53m 29s - -- Compact

I haven't always been a fan of Moore. But when he got the blues in the late 80's, his career started to change for the better, and so did my opinion of his music. He put out 2 excellent albums in the 90's with "Still Got The Blues" and the brilliant Peter Green tribute album "Blues For Greeny". He veered a little too far south of the blues on his last album for my taste. But he's really got back on his game again with this new one. He does 4 covers on this, which I would normally knock a star off of for lack of originality. But he does such meaty interpretations of the old blues standards like "You Upset Me Baby", "Stormy Monday", and especially "I Ain't Got You", that he really wakes these oldies up and makes them his own. His originals are also very strong here. Especially the opener "Enough Of The Blues", which starts out innocently enough with a nice and bluesy dobro, but then quickly turns in to a catchy full-tilt blues rocker. Also of note is the beautiful ballad "Picture Of The Moon", and the hypnotic 9 minute closer "Drowning In Tears". Moore also does all the production work on the album. And it's so stylish and slick, that it makes me wonder why he hasn't produced other artists. As for his playing, you can tell Moore is a very confident and knowledgeable fretmaster with a gritty straight ahead style that always seems to entertain the most when he stays away from the heavy metal and sticks to the rockin' blues. As for "Back To The Blues", I enjoyed this as much as anything he's ever done. It's a great listen from beginning to end.

Gary Moore rolls into 2001 with a solid return to the blues with his new hard hitting Back To The Blues on CMC International. Those who know Gary's Blues Alive/After Hours/Greeny & Still Got The Blues albums are going to love this new tour de force plate. Though only 10 tunes grace this album (6 by Gary & 6 covers)...This is a generous helping with Gary at times burning the fingerboard and yet playing as slow with a textured precision that is fueled with passion and grace that satisfies the soul. Gary produced this album but this time around the sound is very stripped down and bare bone, as opposed to the albums mentioned above (excluding the live Blues Alive). Yes there are echoes of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green and Roy Buchanan. But you know what? Gary Moore is a master guitarist and a legend as well and the sound is all his own. His soul. His tune "Drowning In Tears" is a beautiful slow blues ballad with a mournful haunting guitar. On "Stormy Monday " & "Cold Black Night (another Gary tune) both have Gary turning up the fire and shredding the fingerboard. THESE TUNES ARE EXPLOSIVE! "Enough Of The Blues" may be the single but Gary's "Picture Of The Moon" is another great blues ballad in the "I Still Got The Blues For You" vein which could possibly get him another worldwide radio hit. Need a good dose of melodic articulate fret work? "The Prophet" a stunning instrumental is easily Gary's answer to guitar great Roy Buchanan's "The Messiah Will Come". I think you got the picture. This CD will be well received among his legions of fans. For new fans of his music, this CD is a great starting point. BTW: Gary is actually smiling in some of the pixs! A.

This is a raw and powerful album. It has Moore's rugged rock vocals along with his great guitar work. The CD starts out with a nice textured song, "Enough of the Blues," that begins with just Moore and the guitar and then explodes into a full sound. Nice!Moore's guitar sounds much like Roy Buchanan, especially on "You Upset Me Baby." (which also has a bit of a swinging blues style). Track four, six (a track which has an Eric Clapton feel to it), and eight have a much more Gary "Moore-ish" sound to it, with his quick tricks and licks coming through, along with his trademark tone. Every song is either raw blues or has a very rock blues sound to it.This is a great CD, every song is good (there's not a bad song in the lot). Those who are Moore fans will love this album, while those who are perhaps just getting acquainted with Moore will find this album a big treat as well. Overall the album is blues but has both upbeat and slower tunes as well, making for a nice textured album.

Back To The Blues is a heartfelt, at times bombastic, approach to rockin' blues and one has to wonder if old soul Eric Clapton will ever have it within himself again to put out an album this powerful. Moore simply smokes throughout this album. From the opening cut (Enough Of The Blues) through the final cut (Drowning In Tears) Moore's playing is fluid and passionate. Sure, his voice at times is a little thin and he does descend into all too familiar ballad territory on Picture Of The Moon but he also tears through the jump blues number You Upset Me Baby with such skill and energy that the minor shortcomings of this album are nearly obliterated. Finally, one has to mention his instrumental contribution to this album, The Prophet, which is in the finest tradition of Roy Buchanan and nearly worth the price of the entire album alone.

Comme toujours avec Gary Moore , la prise de son est exceptionnelle !Que dire , car beaucoup de compliments ont deja jalonnés sa longue carrière!Tout d'abord , cet album est un grand cru ! Gary est en pleine forme , tant au niveau de la guitare ( un son puissant! , un toucher imppécable , une fougue et un lyrisme inimitable)qu'au niveau de sa voix dont je trouve qu'elle ne cesse de se bonifier avec le temps!Quel maitrise ! quel force , Gary Moore est un indomptable, un éternel rebel, un génial musicien ,un grand monsieur , qui nous donne envie d'applaudir dès qu'il dépose quelques notes , comme quelques gouttes d'espoir ou de pluie qui se posent sur le gazon .... Certains artistes sont comme ça !il touche à l' essentiel.Quelques titres nous rappellent légèrement un certain SRV (Stevie Ray Vaughan) et c'est ici très légitime !.. mais c'est bel et bien au travail extraordinnaire de Gary Moore que l'on pense a chaque titres .. A noter les bouleverssants "Cold Black night" et "The prophet" ... Merci M. Moore pour tout ce bonheur !!!
