![]() Still got the Blues (1990) [ larger cover art ] |
It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
When the shadows fall
I feel the night closin' in
There must be some reason
For this mood I'm gettin' in
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away
Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away
It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues
| Beclipsed (Pfalz,Germany) | Posted: Feb 05, 2011 - 21:35 So very sad. I liked the rocking Moore more than the Blues from him. But both were right. The best Album for me from Moore is "Gary Moore Band-Ginding Stone 1973- RIP Gary. |
| Netto (Khimki, Russia) | Posted: Feb 05, 2011 - 18:58 It is with deep sorrow and regret, that we have to announce that Gary Moore passed away while on holiday in Spain last night.Our thoughts are with his children, family and friends at this sad time.Gary Moore, RIP1952-2011 |

| KurtfromLaQuinta (La Quinta, CA) | Posted: Mar 25, 2006 - 11:20 These blues are giving me the blues. |
| dave_porter | Posted: Mar 10, 2006 - 17:32 Check out "Crying in the shadows" from the "Wild Frontier" album for another very nice bluesy number from this guy - or "Over the hills and far away", from the same album, for a tighter, rock-ier sound. |

GOOD CALL! |
| guitar_man_101 (Winnipeg Manitoba Canada) | Posted: Mar 10, 2006 - 17:15 This song is incredible, brings out the best of the blues instrumnets! Great voice too! |
| sterlingy (Los Angeles or New York) | Posted: Feb 24, 2006 - 01:31 Stevie Ray Vaughn, Gary Moore (all great), how about some Robert Cray?!!!! |
| crockydile (The swamps of Houston) | Posted: Feb 09, 2006 - 08:24 Amazing. |

I don't know... sounds pretty good to me. But then, I am not a blues aficionado either. Nice follow up to the previous Stevie Ray Vaughan piece! |
| Skip46 (Munich Germany) | Posted: Jan 11, 2006 - 02:12 Gary Moore is a technically brilliant guitarist... he hits all the notes very cleanly, has excellent runs and progressions, but where's the FEELING? The Blues is all about feeling, man. Gary Moore is just too sterile! |

| olsaltybastard | Posted: Nov 13, 2005 - 19:49 Huge Gary Moore fan, but this song just doesn't do much for me. Especially after listening to some of his live stuff. |
| Roto (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Aug 17, 2005 - 10:07 One of my favorite albums |
| jrstudio (smoggy southern california) | Posted: Aug 02, 2005 - 13:51 Awesome! Thanks for playing it Bill! Btw, "Blues for Greenie" was the tribute album to Green. |

If you like early Fleetwod Mac Jumping at shadows is a great tune.
Thanks for that nice bit of history there. If you could see the albums at the kid's feet on the cover, one is John Mayall's 'Hard Road' with Peter Green. Gotta dig the Hendrix poster as well..... |

no that should read "moore or less" |
| SCprof (South Carolina) | Posted: Aug 02, 2005 - 13:47 Quite enjoyable. Love that blues guitar. |

Hi fred..the album has got to be "GARY MOORE:BLUES ALIVE"! which is absolutely stellar! |
| ArkadiaPage (So Cal) | Posted: Jul 18, 2005 - 19:06 WOW! SRV's RIVIERA PARADISE and then Gary Moore's MIDNIGHT BLUES!!...back-to-back?...on a playlist? and here I thought the only way to accomplish that was to program my iPod that way!!! Now why can't FM radio do what BillG does?!?!?!Great tunes! |
| Tux (The Netherlands) | Posted: Apr 07, 2005 - 02:33 Beautiful image coding_to_music! I just commented in Stevie Ray Vaughn minutes ago about reminding his music to Gary Moore, and now it's the next to be played. Wonderful. Thanks for this seque. ![]() |
| mrmojorisin (Dallas, Texas) | Posted: Mar 23, 2005 - 08:58 Kinda corny lyrics, no? |
| coding_to_music (Looking, Looking...) | Posted: Mar 23, 2005 - 08:56
Life got you down? Wait until you hear this song.... |

| rumplestiltskin | Posted: Oct 26, 2004 - 17:47 I just listened to Gabriel's Up album. "Sky Blue" is remarkably similar, though rather muted, as PG has been recently. Yes, "Sky Blue" doesn't pursue the blues treatment, I know, but give it a listen. How about a side-by-side, Bill? |
| trekhead | Posted: Sep 27, 2004 - 07:33 So, Moore IS less. |
| Eul0gy (A Little To The Left) | Posted: Sep 12, 2004 - 12:12 So THIS is the song Dire Straits was mocking.... Sad thing is... I'm not sure I would think any different of this song had I not heard 'Millionaire Blues.' |
| Joyfulchristine (Southern CA) | Posted: Aug 28, 2004 - 18:10 It's probably a great song, but right now, it's depressing the heck out of me. |
| frednic (Santee, CA) | Posted: Jul 30, 2004 - 16:10 I have a live album that he made that I like a lot. I couldn't find it or I'd tell you all what it is. |
| Tux (The Netherlands) | Posted: May 24, 2004 - 07:53 I got the album, and I think the title song is the best. There's no harm in listening to the other songs. Smooth, easy going blues. Great car music. Prevents you from speeding. |
| Johray63 (Meppel, The Netherlands (Holland)) | Posted: Apr 15, 2004 - 08:45 I remember this was a big part of one of the many revivals Blues has known. Of course he's an impressive player, especially in the hardrock style, but his interpretation of the blues leaves me cold. Also due to the slick, (over)production. |
| Chunnamark (Boston, MA) | Posted: Feb 26, 2004 - 09:32 I wouldn't be crushed if I never heard this song again... I rated this song low due to its perceived inability to defeat Bush in the general election. |
| cpmwi (Oceanside, CA) | Posted: Feb 26, 2004 - 09:30 Excellent Gary Moore album. Worth purchasing... (through the amazon link of course). |
| Spliff (Mountain Home, AR) | Posted: Feb 26, 2004 - 09:28 Good voice, great guitar and just about as ugly as Tom Petty. |
| gypsy222 (Under the Table and Dreaming) | Posted: Feb 26, 2004 - 09:28 Very sexy, very smooth. I like it! |
