Full review

Blues For Greeny is a dedication to Peter Green, a blues guitarist, who Gary Moore saw in 1967 first, then on a number of subsequent occasions, and actually bought his guitar off him, thus the title of the album. The Blues are totally guitar-dependent, so if you're not much into that......WHY??! No words can describe the feeling, the juices that flow through ones veins when sampling a well-written blues song.....bliss.

1 - If You Be My Baby

Starts with a jovial , jaunty guitar riff that draws you right into the upbeat mood of the song, despite the title. Has you singing along word for word.

'If you be my baby, tell you what I'll do
I'll give you so much lovin, you gotta love me too'

2 - Long Grey Mare

Not too sure if this is actually about the animal above, or disguised to represent something else. Judging by the lyrics, I'll stick to the former, otherwise it's a somewhat rude song in certain parts, and Gary Moore doesn't write those kind of songs. Might have been better just stripping the song part and leaving the music only. my least favourite on the album.

'I got a long grey mare, she won't let me ride
she makes me brush her in the morning
and put her to bed every night'

3 - Merry Go Round

Typical blues love ballad. 'Nough said.

4 - I Loved Another Woman

The reason I hurried with no. 3 is this. Ahhhhhhh..............gorgeous song. I remember being hooked on the words and guitar riffs for weeks on end. Very soft on both aforementioned aspects, not hard rock or blues. If you can sample/download this song, I highly recommend you do.

'My baby's gone and left me, cryin by myself
My baby's gone and left me, cryin by myself
I loved another woman, now I lost my best gal'

Well, serves you bloody right for cheating mate.

5 - Need Your Love So Bad

Slow guitar intro. Self-explanatory title, really. All about finding and having your soulmate. Smoochy song to slow dance to, with someone, preferably, rather than an inflatable doll !! Beautiful song.

''Need someone's hand to lend me through the night
Need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight'

Where's the darn light switch?

6 - The Same Way

Another upbeat single. All about mutual love between a man and a woman - oh dear, I sound like a bleedin' sex therapist.

'Don't want no evil woman
Make a fool out of me
My girl she's so sweet
She's my honey bee'

7 - The Supernatural

If this single had words, it would have been my favourite in the album. I'm actually listening to it as I write this, and the guitar is taking to places ..........Phew, sorry, but the guitar always had that effect on me, I just melt away every time a great riff is played....besides, we've all pretended to play air guitar at one time or another, but this is not of the manic, 'throw your hands everywhere' type.

Pure Magic

8 - Driftin'

Typical blues song. I'll let you judge for yourselves to agree or disagree.

'I ain't never missed a woman
Anytime or anyhow
I said I ain't never missed a woman
Just like the way I miss my baby now'

9 - Showbiz Blues

A lot of slide, in yer face, blues guitar-based song. All about rock & roll lifestyle, touring, playing gigs and what that usually entails afterwards - we'll that to your imagination.

'I would roll from town to town
I was a rambling pony
People I would roll from town to town
Yes just looking for a sweet woman
And making all my love come on down'

10 - Love That Burns

Ultra slooooooow track.

'Will you love me tomorrow
Like you say you love me now
When the flames of our flesh have stopped burning
And the fire of our love has gone out'

Mmmmmmm.......wise words. We all go headlong into things at times, not just relationships, not weighting all options accurately. This song typifies that notion.
Another excellent track

11 - Looking for somebody

The start is almost like a faulty siren going off as it pleases. Nice touch. A befitting finale to a brilliant album of blues collectives.

'I gotta feeling blues gonna be my only way
'Cause I gotta feeling people blues gonna be my only way
'Cause when you're lookin for somebody
Lookin for somebody'


A summary, my dear friends. I rate this album as excellent, top notch, for its style,i.e. the blues. Pure guitar, pure sorrow lyrics (though I admit, there was only a little of this here, thankfully, as the blues are blissful, but so bloody depressing in its lyrics, but hey, that's why it's not called 'the greens !')

I've listened to Gary Moore on and off for some 6 years now, this is one of his much better works. He, on occasions, tends to be a bit repetitive in his songs, this album totally avoids that, and even has two 'extra special' tracks on it besides his usually top quality stuff.

If you like the blues, even in the slightest, you'll love this.

Wonderful music.

Gary Moore plays Peter Green
Review of Blues For Greeny - Gary Moore by dvdsprks2

Advantages: Peter Greens skill is rediscovered in the form of Gary Moore
Disadvantages: None

...love good music albeit the Blues and want to hear it played by actual musicians then "Blues for Greeny" is for you. To honour one of the guitarists he admires Gary Moore has stepped away from his own high class musicianship and produces an album of Peter Green songs six of which can be found on the albums "Fleetwood Mac" and "Mr Wonderful" (see my reviews on these albums, (Early and More Early English Blues) and also puts in some lesser known songs ...
...my all time favourite slow blues songs. Track 6. Same Way A strong song with a heavy base line that is complemented by Garys guitar and vocals with one of the best guitar solos I have heard for this type of song. Track 7. Supernatural I feel that this song has a lot of Gary Moore style of guitar to it. Some notes are held in a similar fashion to "Parisienne Walkways" which was mad famous by Gary Moore but first done with Thin Lizzy. It is an instrumental ... Read review

Fleetwood Mac, Early English Blues
Review of Mr. Wonderful [Remastered] - Fleetwood Mac by  dvdsprks2

Advantages: You hear one of the best British Blues Bands
Disadvantages: None

...If you like "Blues for Greeny" by Gary Moore then listen to the subject "Peter Green" playing the original music, although this album just features the title track "If You Be Me Baby". Others can be found on "Fleetwood Mac" the bands first album (The one with the Dog and Dustbin in an alleyway) It is possible that Peter Green is using the same guitar on "Mr Wonderful" that Gary Moore used on "Blues for Greeny" as Peter gave or sold it to him "Mr Wonderful" is the first album I bought, it sold me on the Blues. I have this album on vinyl so it is up in my loft at the moment as many good albums are. The track listing on the album you can buy nearly 40 years later are:- 1. Stop Messin' Round (Take 4) - probably one of the first blues songs I ever heard, excellent guitar work, Peter on vocals... Read review

Review of Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac by  dvdsprks2

Advantages: Blues at it's best
Disadvantages: None unless Blues isn't your music

...Further to my review on Fleetwood Mac's "Mr Wonderful" and its links with Gary Moore and his album "Blues for Greeny". I would like to introduce the album before "Mr Wonderful" which was called simply "Fleetwood Mac", it is the famous dog in the alley with dustbins album. I have the LP from years ago but have since bought the CD album which features more tracks than the original LP with different takes of "I loved another Woman" and "Cold Black Night" it also has two extra songs not on the original LP. These are "You're So Evil" and "I'm Coming home to stay". As stated in the "Mr Wonderful" review Gary Moore has covered tracks from this current album on his "Blues for Greeny" album, 5 more in total. As well as one from "Mr Wondeful". All of these songs were recorded at various locations in 1967 on the equipment of the time... Read review
