Gary Moore- BLUES FOR GREENY- CD- 1995/2002/2003- Virgin Records Ltd.- 724358367027- 400 grn
BLUES FOR GREENY is a collection of songs performed by Moore in honor of guitarist Peter Green. In 1966 Skid Row supported Fleetwood Mac at Dublin's National Stadium, and Mac's guitarist Peter Green, whose guitar work with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers had been another formative influence on Moore, was impressed by Moore's playing. They struck up a friendship, and a few years later Green sold Moore his superb 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar for £100. In 1995 Gary Moore took yet another look back at the blues influences from his past with BLUES FOR GREENY, a collection of cover versions of songs written by or associated with Green. By this time, Green had long since vanished from the music industry and was living the life of a recluse. "Peter's style of playing is just as important as Eric Clapton's or Jeff Beck's, but because he wasn't around to promote himself, he was forgotten," said Moore. "The restraint and the emotional content was far above anything else at that time."
PERSONNEL: Gary Moore (guitar, vocals); Nick Pentelow (tenor saxophone); Nick Payn (baritone saxophone); Tommy Eyre (keyboards); Andy Pyle (bass); Graham Walker (drums).
Over the years, Irish guitarist Gary Moore has played everything from hard rock to fusion, but one of his first loves was blues. Moore was mentored and inspired by legendary British guitarist Peter Green, founder of Fleetwood Mac (in their original blues-rock incarnation). BLUES FOR GREENY is his tribute to Green, and it finds Moore lending his distinctive fretwork to a batch of tunes from Green's Mac days. Rather than try to duplicate Green's unique style, Moore makes the tunes his own, but for most of the album the famed shredmaster is more restrained than usual. Undoubtedly a sign of respect for Green, this sonic understatement serves the tunes perfectly, and makes BLUES FOR GREENY one of Moore's most musically successful solo efforts.
