Unbeaten and timeless

"Still Got The Blues" is in my opinion the best mix of Blues and Heavy Metal, I know. I had this album in 1991 on plays from the cassette of a friend and only much later bought the CD. I tried again in the years from time to time, an equivalent of Feeling and technique her album to buy in this music style - nil. Gary Moore who creates his own blues, dominated by the towering, ever-changing, sometimes frantic, sometimes soulful slow but always creative, distorted electric guitar and his distinctive, high rock voice. Flyer of the album is of course "Still Got The Blues" itself - a title that counts, at least in the shortened radio version and (unfortunately) is likely to be known without the ingenious solo at the end of the radio and the definitive classics of rock history. The rock tracks "Oh Pretty Woman" (pretty wicked), "King of the Blues" (Rock Blues-Pops), "Moving on" and "That Kind of Woman", the plaintive slow "As the years go passing by," the actually midnight romance spreading ingenious "Midnight Blues" and the last two numbers are Blue "Still Got The Blues" but hardly after. And the rest of the songs are catchy.
"Still got the blues" is a timeless album that somehow conveys a nocturnal atmosphere between small verräucherter Großstadtbar and the lonely walk through the empty swept neon-lit pedestrian areas. Definitely, it is not an album for blues purists, the tap with the index finger on the definition of the Blues. Because for the proximity to the heavy metal is too large. But actually that does not matter ...
