Close as You Get by Gary Moore
Close as You Get is Gary Moore's release from 2007, a record that leans on tone and touch. It runs to 51 minutes across 11 tracks on Eagle Records. I reached it late and it has stayed with me.
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: Thirty Days
Thirty Days is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It is the reason to start here.
Oh thirty days thirty days
Oh thirty days thirty days
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days
Key takeaway
Close as You Get is a record worth keeping. Give it a listen.
