I feel this is Gary's best ever studio recording. It combines
the power and intensity of Scars (which was mostly too Heavy metal for my taste) with the great blues/rock sound I enjoy the
most from him.
The only drawback is the length (or lack of). I was rather disappointed to see it's barely 40 minutes in total, with no song reaching 6 minutes and three are less than 3 minutes.
But with the music being so great I'll be able to play it twice as often as I would a full length CD!

Gary Moore's back! This is his best since "Still Got The Blues for You"! Too bad there's not more cuts. However, one thing is for sure; Gary Moore shows what real blues is all about. It's not only what you feel inside, but "TALENT" too! Not too many of the so called blues players have this type of talent on the guitar! Gary demonstrates this! His singing is back to standard since the inferior "Scars" era. Bottom line is; Gary Moore does not have to "Pay His Dues" to play the blues!
How about an instrumental album someday Gary?

While some of Moore's previous blues efforts were overpowered by Moore's tendency to slip into "heavy metal/hard rock-blues playing" (or overplaying), on "Power Of The Blues" Moore has finally learned how to harness his blues prowess. Moore shows tremendous restraint in his playing on this album. Possessed by the spirits of Fleetwood Mac era Peter Green & Bluesbreakers era Clapton, Moore channels the previously mentioned greats into his own unique style of electric blues. Two words come to mind in describing Moore's guitar playing, "killer tone". Any guitar player knows what I'm talking about. Green had it, Clapton had it, Page had it, Gary Moore "has" it. Moore's playing on "I Can't Quit You Baby" literally slays Zeppelin's version. And although the previous statement borders on blasphemy for some, I stand by it.
Yes, Gary is not the greatest vocalist; but he can hold his own. Yet that's not the point. When it comes to the blues, the combination of vocals and guitar emanating from the same musician is what it's all about. In that regard Moore finally has come into his own on this album.
This release will not disappoint any Gary Moore fan.
For any newcomers to Gary's music, "Power Of The Blues" is an excellent place to start.

Gary's in top form!!
Being a guitar player, I've worshipped Gary for 15 years or better. He's ALWAYS played smokin' leads on all his efforts, but it's about time his vocals are noticeably better!! Read more

Power of the Blues (indeed)
I've only had this a few hours, and have been able to spin through it 3 times (approx 41 minutes in length). Five stars is my initial impression for this CD. Read more
