Garry Moore - Still Got The Blues For You

Still Got the Blues is a 1990 album by guitarist Gary Moore. Prior to this album Moore's work had consisted of predominantly jazz-fusion with Colosseum II and rock and hard rock styles including his work with Skid Row, Thin Lizzy, G-Force as well as a large repertoire of solo work. This album, as evidenced by its title, is a departure from hard rock to an electric blues style.

Still Got the Blues has been arguably the most successful of Moore's solo albums as it was well received by old fans and also converted many who had never heard of the Irish guitarist before. The album's visibility and success was assisted by contributions from well known veterans Albert King, Albert Collins and George Harrison. Interestingly Moore chose to record his lead vocal in the control room with the then just released Shure Beta 58 supercardiod microphone rather than the studio typical big phantom powered condensor microphone in a sound booth. It is argued that this assisted him to achieve as greater passion and live feel whilst still maintaining studio polish.

The title-track Still Got the Blues was released on the single format and reached the Billboard Hot 100 #97 position on february 16th, 1991[1]. This was the first and last Gary Moore single to chart in the Billboard Hot 100.

The album Still Got the Blues reached the #83 position in the Billboard 200 on february 16th, 1991, then was certified gold record by the RIAA in november 1995. This is the most successful album both in sales and chart positions from Gary Moore in the USA.
