After hours (1992)
From “After hours”, this is a great little blues number, rather appropriately titled “The story of the blues”.
And another great ballad, with some cool horns, this is “Separate ways”.
Another great blues track, this is “Jumpin' at shadows”.
Probably the best slowie from “After hours”, the lovely “Nothing's the same”.
Dark days in Paradise (1997)
A beautiful track from “Dark days in Paradise”, truly magnificent. “Like angels.”
A powerful ballad from “Dark days in Paradise”, this is “Where did we go wrong?” Very Heart-like vibe to this. Fan-tastic solo at the end!
The epic closing track from “Dark days in Paradise”, it's called “Business as usual”. I think this has to qualify as one of, if not the longest Gary Moore tracks, clocking in at a massive 13:30!
A different beat (1999)
Gary Moore in a cool, funky mood for “Surrender”. Oooh yeah!
Back to the blues (2001)
A real blues tune from “Back to the blues”, called “Stormy Monday”. Can't find a studio version on YT, so this is live from the Montreaux jazz festival.
Another great blues track, with melodies very reminiscent of his huge hit “Parisienne walkways”, this is “Picture of the moon”.
And a great instrumental called “The prophet”.
A nine-minute epic, total laid-back ease and grace in “Drowning in tears”.
Power of the blues (2004)
If you had asked him when he was alive, Gary would have told you “That's why I play the blues”.
Old, new, ballads, blues (2006)
If nothing else, this proves Gary was an Irishman! “Gonna rain today”.
A beautiful little ballad, sounds like it was written for his daughter, this is “Flesh and blood”.
Perhaps a message to his heartbroken fans? “No reason to cry”, though we did.
Cool with a capital “C”, it's “I'll play the blues for you”.
As close as you get (2007)
Another great blues track, this time from “As close as you get”, some great organ work too on “Have you heard”.
Another from “As close as you get”, this is called “Evenin'”.
The truly excellent “I had a dream”.
Bad for you baby (2008)
Gary's final album before his untimely death earlier this year, “Bad for you baby” features some good slow tracks, including this one, “Holding on”.
This amazing ten-minute blues slowburner, a cover of the old Blood, Sweat and Tears classic, “I love you more than you'll ever know”...
… and this one, another blues ballad, this is “Did you ever feel lonely?”
The last track on the album, so technically the last studio song Gary Moore ever recorded, and man is it a good one! “Trouble ain't far behind” is a fitting legacy left by a man who lived, ate, drank and slept the blues.
