Live From Baloise Session on blue double vinyl Although initially making his name as a blisteringly fast rock shredder in the 1970s and ‘80s, by the time of his premature death in February 2011, Gary Moore had arguably established himself as the world’s top blues guitarist.

Gary Moore – Back To The Blues (vinyl reissue) (BMG)

Gary Moore – The Sanctuary Years 1999-2004 (BMG)

Gary Moore – How Blue Can You Get (Provogue)
I am going to stick my neck out and say that most of the hard rocking guitarists who broke through in the 1970s started out as blues guitarists. That is to say, they learned their chops jamming along with classic 12-bar recordings from the likes of The Bluesbreakers, BB King or Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac...
