Title: This is what "blues rock" is meant to be
Review: A previous reviewer lamented that this release was not in Moore's class blues realm. This is blues rock as the term should be defined. It certainly bears no resemblance to grunge rock. He borrows from Hendrix ("World Of Confusion" starts out almost note for note just like "Manic Depression"), and SRV, and maybe even a little Kenny Wayne Shepherd. This is not a rock release, although it is being billed as that. The first 2 songs on the cd are outstanding and grab you right by the throat. Gary Moore is constantly changing styles, as evidenced by the aptly titled "Different Beat", and if you want to hear nothing but straight blues by this too often overlooked guitarist, then don't buy this. This is a blues rock cd, pure and simple.
