Back to the Blues by Gary Moore
Back to the Blues is Gary Moore's release from 2001, guitar-led music with real feeling. It runs to 53 minutes across 10 tracks on Sanctuary Records. It came to me long after release and earned its place.
Why listen?
The playing is expressive and rooted, every note bent for feeling rather than show. The band keeps it lean and lets the guitar and voice lead. It is a record about tone, touch, and timing.
Favourite song: Stormy Monday
Stormy Monday is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It rewards repeat listening.
Call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad
Call it stormy Monday
Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday is worse
And Thursday's all so sad
Key takeaway
Back to the Blues is a fine place to start. Recommended.
