Release Notes:
‘Close As You Get’ from Irish Blues-Rock guitarist
Gary Moore ups the blues ante of his ’06 Old New
Ballads Blues into a cohesive stripped-down
blues-rock machine. Whether interpreting jump blues
and urban blues classics (Chuck Berry’s “Thirty
Days” and Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Eyesight To The
Blind”) or giving voice to his own compositions,
Moore has been an amazingly consistent
singer/songwriter/performer, ever since his
emergence from the British Isles in the 1960s.
His work in Thin Lizzy and in Colosseum II (longtime
Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey can be heard on
‘Close As You Get’) endeared Moore to more than one
generation. He has continued to gravitate towards
the earthy emotion-packed centers of gutbucket
barrelhouse blues’n’boogie in his solo work, of
which ‘Close As You Get’ absolutely revels in.
Born Robert Williams Gary Moore in Belfast Ireland,
the guitarist quickly fell under the sway of the
pre-Fleetwood Mac Peter Green, whom he emulated when
Green was a John Mayall Bluesbreaker, and with whom
he shared a close friendship. Another mate, the late
Phil Lynott, became his uppermost musical foil in
Thin Lizzy when the sound of Moore’s bluesy licks
accentuated perfectly Lynott’s low growl to produce
some of Thin Lizzy’s most memorable moments.
But it was the blues that kept dragging Moore back
into its warm embrace. From 1973’s Grinding Stone to
1990’s ‘Still Got The Blues’ (with Albert Collins,
Albert King and BB King), and on to 2004’s ‘Power Of
The Blues,’ Moore hasn’t deviated from his true
calling.
‘Close As You Get’ is intimate, infused with a
purposeful nod to his influences, yet filled with
the kind of chiseled bravado that only experience
can afford.
