Editorial Reviews

Gary Moore is acknowledged as one of the finest guitarists that the British Isles has ever produced. In a career that dates back to the sixties, Moore has graced the line-ups of several notable rock bands including Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II and Skid Row, to name but three, and to this day maintains a highly successful solo career.

With his latest studio album "Bad For You Baby", Gary continues with the sequence of blues rock albums that he began on Eagle Records with "Old, New, Ballads, Blues" and continued on "Close As You Get". Mixing original tunes with Blues classics that Gary has rediscovered, "Bad For You Baby" reaffirms Moore's exceptional talent as a guitarist and his deep insight into and feel for the Blues as a living musical form. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appreciate What We Have When We Do, October 9, 2008

This is a mean ripping blues rock cd. I am floored. I have some of his older stuff, and some promotional stuff, and I hadn't listened to it in ages. It was ok. More widdly widdly guitar than I'd like. Then I caught his performance DVD of the Fender Stratocaster 50th Anniversary performance of Hendrix's Red House. That knock-out ripping mean blues guitar playing inspired me to pick up the CD. I am so glad I did.

There is something for everyone on here. At the risk of comparing his mastery to other guitar greats, this guitar hits me right between the eyes. You hear the BEST blues band and blues guitar playing, the BEST rock band and rock guitar playing. This CD IS A MUST HAVE for any fan of blues and/or rock. This CD, on songs such as "Bad for You Baby", "Down the Line", and "Did you Ever Feel Lonely?" pay homage to his roots, while a tune like "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" is like Moore's long, bending, British soulful bending best. I've noticed this track is not available via download. Here's a tip: This track makes the album.

This album is an Opus, and should be listened to in it's entirety. Moore's guitar work reminds me that we should be thankful for what we have when we do. I've spent a long time pining after SRV's guitar work, and Danny Gatton's excellent playing. While there is a place for them, we MUST acknowledge Moore's guitar genius. It is alive and well, and speaks volumes of the power of blues and rock. He is one with the guitar. You simply can't live without this CD. It is tasteful, soulful, and bluesy. A great selection of tunes, as well, that expose different tasty elements of playing.

buy it. buy it now, and support this musical gift of a guitarist.

No one expected the last album Gary Moore released was going to top "Still Got The Blues" or "Blues Alive," but this one comes the closest. Ever since Gary did the Peter Green tribute album, it seemed like he was stuck in a rut. He dabbled in electronic, dance, pop, and light rock. But until "Bad For You Baby," I didn't hear that great Les Paul sound he is known for. Now, all of the songs aren't excellent, but I would say about 75% of the CD is above average. The song "Bad For You Baby" is a great opener in the classic blues style. "Down The Line" is a more country-blues oriented track which has a similar beat and rhythmic pattern to the song "Heading Home Again," off Skid Row's S/T album in 1970. Nevertheless, it is a great song. "Umbrella Man" is a truly original piece of music with great solos. "Holding On" is a slower song but I really enjoyed it, as it was a good spot to slow things down on the CD. "Walkin' Thru The Park" is a basic blues song and is not one of my favorites on this CD. "I Love You More..." is probably the masterpiece of this CD. It is a 10 minute journey of emotion for the first five minutes, and spine tingling guitar work for the last five minutes. It is a SUPERB song! "Mojo Boogie" is a good song that follows and it fits here perfectly. "Someday Baby" is still taking time to grow on me, again not one of my favorites. "Did You Ever Feel Lonely?" is a great soulful blues number with plenty of excellent guitar work. "Preacher Man Blues" is probably my least favorite song on this CD. The last song, "Trouble Ain't Far Behind," is interesting because although it is a good song, it seems strikingly similar to Gary's version of Duster Bennett's "Jumpin' At Shadows." I noticed at least two or three parts where the same pattern of notes was played, especially at the end. But other than that, it is a decent way to close out this CD. Overall, Gary's voice is suited well for these blues songs. He gets a lot of heat because he is not the best vocalist in the world, but hey, his guitar does most of the talking. With the way Gary plays, he only needs to be an average vocalist. There is no need for a session vocalist or anything like that. Gary's voice makes this album his own. Besides, most of the time he is playing his guitar, not singing. I enjoyed eight out of eleven songs on this CD, which is the highest percentage of tracks that I liked since his "Blues For Greeny" CD. Gary will always be remembered for a shredder, but also his excellent interpretation of blues.
