Editor's note

Gary Moore, the Belfast guitarist who found blues

From Thin Lizzy's hard rock to his own blues revival, Moore's playing balanced technique with raw feeling.

For a quick sense of his range, listen to 'Out In The Fields' and then 'Cold Black Night.' One's all hard-rock charge, the other pure slow-burn blues.

Moore's 1990 album 'Still Got the Blues' brought blues guitar back to mainstream rock radio when it had largely faded from view. Songs like 'Cold Black Night' showed he could write lean, memorable blues-rock hooks, not just play fast. His version of 'Parisienne Walkways' became a signature piece that guitarists still learn today.

He first got attention playing on Thin Lizzy albums like 'Jailbreak' and 'Black Rose: A Rock Legend' in the 1970s. After leaving the band, he shifted toward blues, recording over twenty solo albums that often featured musicians like drummer Cozy Powell.
