Gary Moore — Back to the Blues

What is there to comment on? It is the case when the title at 100% corresponds to the content. Gary experimented with the sound, tried to be fashionable - it was empty. He found neither commercial nor any other success, and so in the year 2000 he decided to return to what he is truly a great master of - his slightly heavier, guitar-driven blues. Back to the Blues has everything you need - a track in the style of Parisienne Walkways - Picture of the Moon, an energetic rocker - Enough of the Blues, high-quality covers of standards - You Upset Me Baby, Looking Back, his own track that plays like a standard - Cold Black Night, an instrumental - The Prophet, and a thoughtful blues - Drowning in Tears. The album is made according to the ideal blues principle that the maestro himself derived. A solid, perfectly recorded and performed record (who would doubt it?). The album can safely be put on par with Moore's main blues discs, which is why it is named this way. The comeback turned out great, and Gary did not deviate from blues tendencies until his death, except for the strange formation Scars, with the failure of which he finally calmed down and realized that people needed from him what he does best. And this, in general, is wonderful if what you are good at is also popular and in demand.
