Still Got the Blues by Gary Moore
Still Got the Blues is Gary Moore's release from 1990, a record that leans on tone and touch. It runs to 52 minutes across 9 tracks on Virgin 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: Still Got the Blues (For You)
Still Got the Blues (For You) is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It rewards repeat listening.
So long
It was so long ago
But I've still got the blues
For you
Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues
For you
Key takeaway
Still Got the Blues is well worth your time. Give it a listen.
