Ballads & Blues = Japanese 2 CD / DVD = (CD)
By the late '80s Moore jettisoned the screechy hard rock and returned to his first love, the blues. This '94 collection - with new DVD content - includes interpretations of '80s-era ballads plus the pick of his subsequent albums. As a dynamic version of signature tune Parisienne Walkways proves, he was at his best when peeling off an overwrought guitar solo and gurning like a man having electro-convulsive shock therapy. Better to remember him that way.
Reissued with DVD bonus from much-missed guitar great, his soul shines through on cuts taken from both his rock/metal and blues templates. The DVD adds 19 minutes of Gary talking us through 10 clips, including another moment of guitar heaven in The Loner. A fitting testament.
