In 2009, just over a year before his untimely death, the late, great Irish bluesman played an intimate set at London’s Islington Academy which has since gone down in legend among his fans. Recorded for posterity, it appeared in January 2020. Featuring Moore at the top of his game, it includes some of his best-loved tunes including “Since I Met You Baby,” “I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know,” “Walking by Myself,” and the classic “Parisienne Walkways.”

BMG proudly releases Gary Moore’s Blues and Beyond, a remarkable collection of his powerful and emotive blues studio recordings. Blues and Beyond is released on a double album set, which includes unreleased live recordings and the official Gary Moore biography I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow written by Harry Shapiro. Best known for his evocative solo hits, Parisienne Walkways and Still Got the Blues (live versions feature in this set), and his on/off membership of Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore’s solo career comprises over twenty albums. Throughout the 1980s, Gary moved up the rock hierarchy, but turned his back on what he regarded as the empty flash of metal and reverted to his heart music – the blues – where ironically he scored his biggest commercial success through his 1990s and 2000s blues albums. As well as running his own bands, during a successful solo career, Gary mixed with the best that rock and blues could offer, playing live and on record with George Harrison, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Greg Lake, BB King, Albert King, Albert Collins and many others. Gary was also the guitarist many looked up to, not just for the terrifying speed of his fretwork, but for the passion, fire and honesty in his playing.

Gary Moore - Ballads & Blues 1982-1994 (1995) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz] Download

In 2003, the folks in England finally got an official release of the 1995 U.S. Gary Moore collection Ballads & Blues, 1982-1994, retitled The Essential Gary Moore. As its original title suggested, the 14-track collection bypasses Moore’s ’80s-era heavy metal excursions in favor of his power ballads from the same decade and his bluesy rebirth of the early ’90s. The best-known tracks of the bunch remain “Still Got the Blues (For You)” and a live take of “Parisienne Walkways” (which in his review of Ballads & Blues, Ed Rivadavia fittingly points out are both carbon copies of each other), but other lesser-known highlights are featured. Tops include the slow-burning blues of “Jumpin’ at Shadows,” the synth-heavy yet haunting “Johnny Boy,” and the acoustic “With Love” (not to be confused with the Moore-era Thin Lizzy song of the same name). Also included is the schmaltzy ballad “Empty Rooms,” a track that has probably been featured on more Gary Moore recordings than any other. If you’re in the U.S., instead of shelling out the extra bucks for The Essential Gary Moore import edition, save your money and get the more affordable Ballads & Blues (or better yet, go for a more comprehensive Moore collection, such as 1998’s Out in the Fields: The Very Best of Gary Moore).

Gary Moore - Out In The Fields - The Very Best Of Gary Moore (1998) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz] Download

Irish guitarist Gary Moore has built an entire career on stubborn self-recycling. Just when listeners think they have him pegged within a particular musical style (heavy metal guitar slinger, soft-hearted acoustic player, jazz fusion experimentalist, electric blues purist), the enduring six-string legend throws a curve ball and changes artistic direction – seemingly just to spite his critics. Because of this, his extensive recorded legacy as a solo artist has defied adequate encapsulation into greatest-hits packages, and in America, where his profile has never exceeded the status of a connoisseur’s favorite, taking a first stab at discovering his work becomes an even more vexing task. Out in the Fields: The Very Best of Gary Moore doesn’t solve this problem, but it does alleviate it somewhat by concentrating on Moore’s best-known guise among the aforementioned connoisseur club – hard rock and heavy metal guitar shredder. Included here are the rare mainstream hits (“Out in the Fields,” “Wild Frontier”), balls-out metal headbangers (“Run for Cover,” “Military Man”), sublime ballads (“Parisienne Walkways,” “Empty Rooms”), and later-day blues successes (“Cold Day in Hell,” “Still Got the Blues”). In an imperfect world and a less-than-perfect career, this is about as spot-on as one can expect.

There probably isn’t a rock guitarist alive who hasn’t been influenced in some way by the legacy of Jimi Hendrix. It’s an all the more astonishing phenomenon when you consider that Hendrix shuffled off this mortal coil over 40 years ago. But Hendrix was such a trailblazer that his impact wasn’t lessened by his untimely demise, but was actually augmented by the attention that early death brought and the then immediate reevaluation it brought the guitarist’s achievements, a reevaluation which in turn burnished his reputation and has led subsequent generations to virtually deify a man who singlehandedly rewrote the vocabulary for rock guitar. The past several months or so have seen some really great Hendrix related Blu-rays come to market, including Jimi Hendrix: Jimi Plays Berkeley and Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child (two releases which joined The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live at Monterey and Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock, which both appeared in 2008), and now comes this “homage” concert which finds the late Irish guitarist Gary Moore recreating several Hendrix classics. (Moore, like Hendrix, died at an unexpectedly relatively young age—not quite as young as Hendrix—from substance abuse issues, in this case alcohol rather than drugs.)
