Fans of Gary Moore will most likely already own his individual albums, which renders this set pretty much obsolete except for collection purposes. For the unitiated, this album is a must.
Other than Peter Green in the late 60's, no other "white boy blues" guitarist can match Moore's technical prowess and sheer energy; well Johnny Winter does, so lets add "British" to the adjective list.
True this is more of a blues-rock affair, but let's not split hairs. From straight out blues, to boogie, to blues-rock 'n' roll, Moore can do it all. So if you enjoy the music of performers like Savoy Brown, Johnny Winter, Ten Years After, and early Fleetwood Mac you will thoroughly enjoy this album guaranteed. Gary Moore doesn't just "honk" on bobo, he literally blows bobo away!

If you're not familiar with Gary Moore, this 2 CD album is a great place to start.

The first CD is a compilation of material culled from other Gary Moore albums and includes duets with Albert Collins, Albert King and B.B. King. The second CD is a live set with more guest appearances by Albert Collins, Albert King and B.B. King.

Great stuff.

If you like blues guitar, Gary Moore is a guitar player you should know about. This CD is a great introduction to Moore's work.

An Addition To My Original Review Above:

Gary Moore died a few months back. RIP, Gary. Your music will live on.

This is a double-cd, the first cd being a studio set compiled from previous albums. It is good, even though I've heard the tracks on other albums.
The second cd however is, in my opinion, a bit special.All LIVE tracks, teamed up with blues legends like Albert King, B.B King and last and certainly not least THE ICEMAN, Albert Collins. Wow this stuff is dreamy. From the first track "Caldonia" right through to the last track "Midnight Blues" this will not disapppoint.

gary moore's best of the blues is nothing short of superb. as radio dj i am exposed to a wide variety of cds and talents in the blues world and this cd rates near the top.

With one CD of stuido and one CD of all LIVE songs you can't go wrong. Gary and his band in top fourm on live CD. Blues of the highest power that God would let a man play too! Great group backing up Gary. Powerfull harp,unforgettable backing vocals and the sweetest B-3 organ to fill the sound to the max! Both live and stuido and some of the best Blues ever put out! A can't lose set of CD's!!!!

Without a doubt,Gary Moore is the most shreddin guitarist on the planet! This album is the finest in guitar expression. He makes that old 58 Les Paul wail with incredible feeling. Moore gets the sound that every guitar player only dreams of coming close to! If you want to groove to the blues, this album is truly the absolute best rockin blues ever! Long live Gary Moore...King of the Blues!

o yes,baby!i got this perl of my collection.
but ,i think,god of guitar gary moore deserved at least
few pictures,and solid collection -more.

A excelent work of selection for the best guitarist of blues
contemporary. passing the tracks i can see old and famous
sings as still got the blues and oh pretty woman and other more
news as my favorite PARISIENNE WALKWAYS no doubt with an excellent rock guitar solo.Is a good buy for a collector of blues.

undoubtly Gary Moore is one of the best guitar players but I really like this cd because it gathers excellent molodies played by this virtous man. if you don't like blues listen to this work of art and I'm sure you'll change your mind. it is exciting and relaxing at the same time............enjoy it!

Gary Moore is a flawless musician that unfortunately has not gotten the recognition he most definitely deserves. This Album like all his work will have you jumping out of your seat. The bonus live CD is priceless. The Albert King, Albert Collins and BB King Duets are unreal. The guitars are screaming!!!!! Probably music's best kept secret besides John Sykes!!!!! BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
