Music reviews of Power of the Blues
Music Review: Moore at his best
Rating: 5 Stars
Gary Moore has always slipped through the cracks. One of the best rock guitarists of his generation, he hasn't quite gotten the widespread accolades that have been lavished upon the work of less accomplished players. Metalheads were put off by the soulful core that lay within his technically astonishing playing. Fans of the blues were put off by his hard-rock intensity and searing soloing. For my money, Moore is one of the best guitarists working, and Power Of The Blues is a sterling example of his artistry. Moore plays the blues with a distinctly modern edge, combining soul and expression with screaming hard rock intensity. The title track kicks with punishing force, changing tempo for a grinding Moore solo. "There's a Hole" is a slow burning showcase. As sacreligious as it may sound, Moore's version of "I Can't Quit You Baby" is a stunning tour-de-force that cuts the version on Led Zeppelin I dead, and that version was a great version of the song. "Evil" is a short, powerful rendition of the Howlin' Wolf classic. "Getaway Blues" is an absolute powerhouse, where Moore's vocals match his guitar's saw-toothed aggression. "Memory Pain" is dynamic, pairing mint-cool interludes with shattering outbursts. I thought his interpretation of this song was interesting, not as funky as Johnny Winters', but classic in its own way. "Torn Inside" and "That's Why I Play The Blues" are atmospheric songs that are perfect for rainy day listening. All of Moore's blues work is excellent, and this may be the best one of the bunch.
