I personally liked "Blues Alive" and "Best of the Blues" better than this CD. Check out the soundbytes of the other CDs before buying this one.

THIS AND STILL GOT THE BLUES ARE HIS BEST WORK! ALSO RECOMMENDED, BLUES FOR GREENY. VERY DISSAPOINTED IN OTHER OUTPUT. TOO MUCH QUANTITY AND NOT ENOUGH QUALITY. THE THREE MENTIONED ARE DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR TIME!

Played vigorously by Moore, Daisley and Mooney, this is a "safe" record by Gary, where he plays some standards and a lot of original material that seems a LOT like a LOT of standards...
Anyway, it will do no harm to his already marvellous body of work, and it's a good listening experience.

Gary Moore's "Still Got The Blues" album delivered top notch guitar playing AND vocals. He always has been known more for his guitar playing than his singing, but on that album from 1990 his vocals were very good, particularly on the title track. However, while his guitar is as good as ever on this 2004 "Power Of The Blues" release, his vocals, for some reason, have taken on a weird, almost goofy flavor. Maybe he was dissatisfied with his singing on "Still Got The Blues" and was trying a "new style." Well, Gary, let's leave well enough alone and stick to the formula, my man! We know you can do better! Overall, though, a great blues/rock album. I'm a Gary Moore fan mostly due to his guitar, anyway, so I'm willing to overlook his "affected" vocals for the most part.

Really, this is his best bluesy record, not the ultra famous ultra celebrated Still got the blues. This has got great tracks all the way through. The melodies are very good and Gary gives the blues a hard rocking edge. And Gary doesn't overplay here. And his vocals suit to the songs more than on his earlier bluesy
albums.
