Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 41 – Gary Moore, “Still Got The Blues”

Gary Moore, Still Got The Blues, 1990 There was a time when I loved Gary Moore – and it was mostly because of this album. I mean I was excited about his pedigree (Thin Lizzy) and his hard-rock background. I was a kid. And rock guitar was my jam. And 1990 was the year that […]

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 9 – BBM, “Around The Next Dream”

BBM, Around The Next Dream, 1994 The short-lived “supergroup” BBM was basically the Cream reunion that Eric Clapton wasn’t interested in, so they subbed in Gary Moore. There had been a Cream get-together ahead of this and then a documented one a decade after – but this was, briefly, an exciting thing. Particularly because it […]

RNZ Music Feature: The Music of George Harrison

I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But now and then I present features on the show too. Most recently I co-interviewed Steve Gadd! And then, Jesse Mulligan asked me a question – a silly question: Was I the right person to do a feature about George Harrison? […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 943

Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous (1978) I grew up knowing about Thin Lizzy – first of all The Boys Are Back In Town from every rock compilation ever. And then a bunch of the other tunes, the story of Phil Lynott (one of classic rock’s most mourned casualties) and quite possibly an entry point for […]

Eric Clapton: Old Sock

Eric Clapton Old Sock Universal You almost have to see Eric Clapton’s solo career as a prolonged exercise in self-sabotage – he had it there, on a plate and slowly, surely, he drifted toward the middle of the road and though there have been some peaks – particularly live and, interestingly at the start and […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1760

Albert King, Born Under A Bad Sign (1967) I first knew about Albert King from seeing him perform with B.B King and hearing him guest with the likes of Gary Moore and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The influence on SRV was obvious. The album I hunted out straight away was this – a double-dose of magic […]
